Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Fully customizable JavaScript headless CMS for any digital experience
Strapi delivers a flexible, developer‑first headless CMS built with JavaScript/TypeScript, supporting multiple databases, a modern admin UI, and seamless integration with any front‑end framework.

Strapi is aimed at developers and content teams that need a programmable, API‑first CMS while retaining full control over data models, security, and deployment. Whether you’re building a large‑scale e‑commerce platform, a multilingual marketing site, or a mobile‑first content hub, Strapi’s JavaScript/TypeScript stack lets you stay within a single language ecosystem.
The platform generates REST and GraphQL endpoints automatically from your content types, offers a customizable React‑based admin panel, and supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite. With built‑in role‑based access control, internationalization, and a powerful CLI, you can scaffold projects, extend functionality via plugins, and deploy anywhere—from your own server to Strapi Cloud.
Run yarn create strapi or npx create-strapi@latest to spin up a new project with default authentication, media library, and content‑type builder. From there, tailor APIs, routes, or plugins to match exact business requirements, then host on AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, or any Node‑compatible environment.
When teams consider Strapi, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
