Strapi

Open-source headless CMS with a powerful content API.

Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS built with Node.js. It provides a visual content management interface for editors and automatically generates REST and GraphQL APIs for developers. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, Strapi is API-first, designed to deliver content to any frontend, mobile app, or IoT device.

We use Strapi as our preferred headless CMS when building Next.js websites that need content management. Strapi's JavaScript ecosystem means it fits naturally into our stack, and its auto-generated APIs save weeks of backend development. Strapi gives our clients a familiar, user-friendly content editing experience while we build fast, modern frontends with Next.js.
