Getting started with Contentful UI Extensions: Part 1
Contentful has a handful of extension points, where in a straightforward and simple manner, you can extend the editorial experience with minimal development effort. In this series of posts I'll show you some examples.
Build a website using Nuxt and Contentful : a step by step guide
As a frontend developer, working with static site generators and serverless architecture is a joy. We can create very powerful and amazing applications which we can also server-side render. This article aims to give you a step by step guide for building a very basic website using Nuxtjs and Contentful — including a simple Vuex example.
Tech giants are investing in digital transformation: you should too
This was a week marked by two huge tech acquisitions. Google is buying data analytics company Looker for $2.6 billion in a move to bolster their cloud computing offering –– and keep up with their rivals. This comes off the back of another major transaction; Salesforce will acquire Tableau, an analytics platform which specializes in interactive data visualization. Digital transformation is firmly here — it’s not just for early adopters, startups or the technologically curious.
Editors, here's how translation works with Contentful (spoiler: it's a breeze)
One of the most beautiful things about the web is that content is for anyone with an internet connection. The internet has no language — whether you speak Spanish or Swahili, you’ll find what you’re looking for within the pages of Google. And that is thanks, in part, to translation. Every day, thousands of pieces of content are translated and sent out so audiences can delight in reading the news in their own language, or study an online course tailored just for them. It means that people from all corners of the globe can participate in sharing and communicating, a huge step for our collective repository of human knowledge.
Wave hello to our new brand (and goodbye to your CMS problems, too)

But these are stories for another day, featuring our expert web developer and designer. Today we’re talking brand.
Get traction with interaction: modeling interactive content with React and Contentful's rich text editor
A year ago, Clue relaunched its website as an encyclopedia for women and people with cycles. Clue's first product is a period tracker app, which is used by over 10 million people to track their symptoms and learn about patterns in their reproductive health. Lately, we’ve been thinking that our readers might be better served by interactive content that does more showing and less telling.
How a support engineer makes your life easier
There's a common joke that working as a support engineer is a bit like riding a bike. Except the bike on fire, you are on fire and everything around you is also on fire. While support engineers are no strangers to crisis, our job isn't just putting out fires. Our work often starts before anything has the chance to go wrong. We’re the first line of support from the moment you choose to work with Contentful.
Building a better podcast with Contentful and Sinatra
Have you ever noticed that developers tend to be a musically inclined bunch? I dare you to find a team without a single guitarist, drummer, producer or a DJ in their midst. When the enthusiasm for both music and programming converges, Contentful provides a solid foundation for those all-important passion projects.
Configuring automatic backups for Contentful
In this tutorial I will explain how to set up automatic backups for your Contentful Space(s) using an AWS Lambda Function and CloudWatch for scheduling.
Ramp up your productivity and host a hackathon. Here's how to do it.
Hackathons don’t have to be about losing sleep to create products or features that never go to market. Just weeks after hosting a two-day hackathon with the employees of Contentful, we’re releasing five new native and extensibility features that significantly improve our customer experience.
