strapi
Alternative to WordPress
Strapi is a headless CMS that lets you define content types visually through a GUI. It auto-generates both REST and GraphQL APIs, providing a flexible content management backend that imposes no constraints on frontend technology choices.
- Content Type Builder for defining fields and relations visually without code
- Auto-generated REST and GraphQL API endpoints based on content types
- Media library for centralized management of images, videos, and files with Cloudinary/S3 support
- Role-based access control with customizable permissions for admins, editors, and authors
- Built-in internationalization (i18n) for managing multilingual content
- Plugin system with official and community extensions for added functionality
Built on Node.js with Koa, Strapi supports self-hosting or Strapi Cloud deployment. It serves as a modern WordPress alternative widely adopted as the backend for Jamstack sites and headless architectures.
