Render content from CMS or from MongoDB?
1
Hey everyone,
I'm enquiring which approach is more straight-forward or more efficient? Should i render my content directly with NextJS from the CMS or should i bypass this and read my content directly from the mongo db?
Which requires less coding or best approach?
definitely go through the CMS. you can use the REST or GraphQL API, and with a little extra configuration you can use the Local API
