Strapi
Open-source headless CMS for developers
Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS with 71K+ GitHub stars. Build flexible content APIs in minutes with a customizable admin panel. Use any frontend framework—React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt. 100% JavaScript, fully self-hosted, complete control.
Why Strapi?
Traditional CMS platforms lock you into specific templates and frontends. When you need a custom React app or mobile backend, they don't fit. SaaS headless CMS tools work but are expensive and limit customization. Developers need a headless CMS they can host, extend, and customize without restrictions.
How It Works
Strapi generates a content API from your content types. Define your schema in the admin panel—no database migrations needed. Get instant REST and GraphQL APIs. Customize everything with plugins and code. Deploy anywhere you can run Node.js.
What Is Strapi?
Strapi is an open-source headless CMS. It provides a visual content type builder, media library, internationalization, role-based access control, and REST/GraphQL APIs. Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite.
