Strapi

Strapi is an open-source, customizable headless CMS providing a powerful Document Service API, role-based access control, and customizable REST/GraphQL endpoints.

When to Use

• Self-Hosted Open Source Headless CMS: Complete ownership of content data, database schemas, and hosting infrastructure.
• Customizable Admin Dashboard: Building content management workflows for editorial and marketing teams.
• Automated REST & GraphQL Endpoints: Instantly exposing type-safe APIs for frontends (Next.js, Nuxt, mobile).
• Role-Based Content Governance: Granular permissions, internationalization (i18n), and draft/publish workflows.
