## What it is
Webiny is an open-source, self-hosted content platform built as a TypeScript framework that runs on AWS serverless infrastructure (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront). It bundles a Headless CMS with GraphQL API, a drag-and-drop Website Builder, and a File Manager, and is extensible via code, lifecycle hooks, and an MCP server for AI-assisted development.

## Use cases
- self-host a headless CMS on AWS serverless
- build a multi-tenant content platform with GraphQL API
- white-label a CMS inside a SaaS product
- build a drag-and-drop website builder with Next.js frontend
- manage digital assets with CDN delivery and file manager
- extend a CMS programmatically with lifecycle hooks and AI via MCP
- host content infrastructure in my own AWS account for data ownership

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, code-first CMS on AWS with no servers to manage
- you need native multi-tenancy to serve many brands or customers from one deployment
- you want to extend the CMS as a TypeScript framework rather than configure a closed product
- you need enterprise-scale content operations with publishing workflows and audit trails
- you want AI-assisted platform development via an MCP server

## When to avoid
- you need a simple blog or small site without AWS or TypeScript expertise
- you want a fully open-source license with all enterprise features - multi-tenancy, RBAC, SSO, and audit logs are gated behind paid plans
- you prefer non-AWS clouds or traditional VM/container hosting
- you want a lightweight CMS your marketing team can run without developers
