# Faust.js

A headless WordPress toolkit for Next.js that provides authentication, post previews, template hierarchy, and block editor support for decoupled WordPress sites.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → substitute to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** A buyer evaluating Vercel's AI cloud platform for building and deploying web applications could instead use Faust.js with a WordPress backend to achieve a similar decoupled frontend architecture, eliminating the need for Vercel's compute, storage, and AI tools by relying on WordPress and the Faust.js toolchain.
