About Strapi

Strapi is a headless content management system (CMS) with a TypeScript and Node.js codebase. It lets teams create content models, manage content through an admin panel, and expose that content through APIs for websites and other devices. The homepage says the content model can be turned into REST and GraphQL APIs.

The homepage describes the code as MIT-licensed open source and says it can be self-hosted or deployed to Strapi Cloud. The directory record lists open_source as false, so check the license terms directly before relying on either description. The homepage also says Strapi is SOC 2 certified and GDPR compliant. These are the vendor's statements and were not verified here. Strapi Cloud includes Postgres, a CDN, and email, and the homepage lists enterprise features such as audit logs, review workflows, and SSO without stating which plans include them.
