FAQPage Schema
How does the Deco Start three-layer architecture work?

The Deco Start architecture uses a three-layer structure separating admin protocol, CMS resolution, and edge-caching workflows. This ensures clear boundaries for worker entry points and data fetching in TanStack Start deployments.

How do I port features from deco-cx/deco to Deco Start?

To port features from deco-cx/deco, review the architecture guide to align your implementation with Deco Start's three-layer model. It provides practical guidance for mapping existing admin protocols and CMS resolution logic to the new structure.

Does Deco Start support edge caching with Cloudflare Workers?

Yes, Deco Start supports edge caching with Cloudflare Workers. The architecture details how the worker entry point handles edge caching to optimize response times and manage real deployments effectively at the edge.

What is the admin protocol in Deco Start and how do I debug it?

The admin protocol in Deco Start manages communication between the admin layer and the CMS. You can debug admin protocol issues by tracing interactions within the three-layer architecture and verifying CMS resolution response payloads.

Can I use TanStack Start with Deco Start for Cloudflare deployments?

Yes, you can use TanStack Start with Deco Start for Cloudflare Workers deployments. The architecture provides realistic adoption patterns and outlines how SDK utilities interact within this specific edge deployment stack.
