Use case · Ten minutes to a deployed preview
Content in WordPress. Site on the edge.
The headless pair is a first-class site type. ReDock wires the API address, builds the front end on the Node you pick, and ships it to Cloudflare when you say so.
The steps
Ten minutes to a deployed preview, start to finish.
One window. The parts the agent does come back with receipts you can reopen and undo.
- 01 New site → Headless pairWordPress on one .test address, Astro on another. The content API URL is already in the front end's config.
- 02 Write, then buildAdd content in wp-admin; build the front end on Node 22 from the Setup tab; preview on HTTPS.
- 03 Git itWire the front end to its repo. Universes let you try a redesign on a branch with its own address.
- 04 DeployShip → Cloudflare. Hash and duration reported; attach your domain from the same screen.
What you end up with
✓ A fast front end with editors still in wp-admin
✓ Builds that never touch your system Node
✓ A deploy you can repeat from one button
