NPR is moving away from separate content management systems and towards an API-first approach called CAPE (Create Anywhere, Publish Everywhere) that allows content to be created and managed in any system but published through APIs. The key principles of CAPE are to separate content from display, make content modular and portable, design all features as APIs, prioritize speed in APIs, use search indexes through APIs rather than databases, enable granular security controls, and design for user queries rather than data models.
