Architecture Overview

A decoupled, API-first platform at global scale.

USTravelDocs is a fully decoupled system. Contentful serves as the headless CMS - the single source of truth for all content - consumed entirely by a Vue.js SPA through the Contentful Delivery API. No server rendering, no tightly coupled CMS themes.

Editorial teams update visa requirements for any of 155+ country-locales without touching code. Engineers maintain full control over the front-end experience independently of content publishing cycles.

Vuex State
  • vue-router slug routing - /:locale/:page maps to a Contentful entry fetch on mount
  • Vuex store caches CMS payloads; dynamic <component :is> binds CMS-driven layouts
  • Contentful webhooks trigger CloudFront cache invalidation on every content publish
  • CGI Federal appointment & MRV payment APIs consumed client-side via secure HTTPS endpoints

155+ country-locale specific rendered views
Contentful Content Model

One model. 155+ country-locale editions.

Every country page is a localised instance of a single shared CountryPage content type - not a separate site. Editors fill fields; Vue.js handles the rendering.

  • ✓
    CountryPage - master content type: visa instructions, steps, embassy data, per locale
  • ✓
    References - linked StepBlock, FAQEntry, AlertBanner content types for reuse
  • ✓
    Locale codes - ISO country codes in Contentful map directly to Vue Router slugs
  • ✓
    Publish to 155+ markets with zero developer involvement required
