Strapi is an open-source, self‑hosted headless CMS built with Node.js and TypeScript. It lets developers define content models and instantly generates REST and GraphQL APIs while providing a friendly admin UI for editors.
Use cases
- Create a custom API for a web or mobile app without writing backend code
- Manage multilingual content with a visual content‑type builder
- Integrate a CMS into a Jamstack site using REST or GraphQL
- Add role‑based permissions and authentication to a content platform
- Extend core functionality with plugins and custom server logic
When to choose
- You need a fully customizable backend with both REST and GraphQL out of the box
- You prefer a JavaScript/TypeScript stack and want to host the CMS yourself
- Your project requires granular role‑based access control and content versioning
- You want a plugin ecosystem to add features like media libraries, SEO, or AI assistance
When to avoid
- You need a turnkey SaaS CMS with no server management
- Your team works primarily in non‑JavaScript languages and prefers a different tech stack
- You require built‑in visual page building (WYSIWYG site builder) rather than API‑first content
