Strapi

Strapi is an open-source headless CMS written entirely in JavaScript and TypeScript that gives development teams full control over content modeling, APIs, and deployment. Content types are defined via a visual builder that combines fields, reusable components, and Dynamic Zones, then automatically exposed through both REST and GraphQL endpoints. The admin panel offers content editors a clean interface for managing and localizing content across multiple languages.

The platform includes role-based access control for both admin users and API consumers, a built-in media library, a plugin system for extending behaviour, and support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite. Strapi runs self-hosted on any Node.js-compatible environment, or as a managed deployment through Strapi Cloud.

Strapi is designed for teams building websites, mobile apps, IoT products, or any project that needs a framework-agnostic content API — ranging from small prototypes to enterprise deployments requiring SSO, audit logs, and custom workflows.
