Conclusion
L’architecture microservices avec WordPress headless offre:
Performance: 8-10x amélioration du throughput et latence
Scalabilité: Scale horizontal indépendant par service
Flexibilité: Frontend moderne (React, Vue, mobile)
Résilience: Isolation des pannes par service
Developer Experience: Équipes spécialisées, déploiements indépendants
Recommandations**:
Utilisez ISR de Next.js pour le meilleur ratio performance/fraîcheur
Implémentez on-demand revalidation pour les updates temps réel
Monitorez chaque microservice indépendamment
Utilisez un API Gateway pour centraliser auth, rate limiting, logging
Commencez petit: découpler le frontend d’abord, puis ajouter des microservices selon les besoins

Cette architecture est battle-tested en production sur des sites générant 10M+ pages vues/mois.
