Strapi

Strapi is a free and open-source headless CMS delivering your content anywhere you need.

- Keep control over your data. With Strapi, you know where your data is stored, and you keep full control at all times.

- Self-hosted. You can host and scale Strapi projects the way you want. You can choose any hosting platform you want: AWS, Render, Netlify, Heroku, a VPS, or a dedicated server. You can scale as you grow, 100% independent.

- Database agnostic. Strapi works with SQL databases. You can choose the database you prefer: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite.

- Customizable. You can quickly build your logic by fully customizing APIs, routes, or plugins to fit your needs perfectly.

Install Strapi with this Quickstart command to create a Strapi project instantly:

- (Use yarn to install the Strapi project (recommended). Install yarn with these docs.)

- (Use npm/npx to install the Strapi project.)

This command generates a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload). The Quickstart command installs Strapi using a SQLite database which is used for prototyping in development.
