About Strapi

Strapi is the leading open-source Node.js headless CMS, developed by a France-headquartered company based in Paris. It is fully JavaScript, extensible through plugins and customisable from the database layer up, exposing both REST and GraphQL APIs to any front-end (React, Vue, Next.js, Nuxt, Angular and others). Built-in features include a configurable admin UI, role-based access control, content internationalisation, draft/publish workflow, media library and webhooks. Self-hosting is free under the open-source licence; Strapi Cloud starts at around $15/month with tiers based on API requests and storage.
