Decoupling your frontend architecture from WordPress has typically relied on the REST API paired with WPGraphQL as the primary data source for hydrating your components. In this session we'll explore an ongoing project which needed a different paradigm to facilitate its transition to headless, and how ElasticSearch helped ease some of the early pain points by liberating the frontend from WordPress's backend altogether, allowing us to run applications in any context.
