Our take
Strapi is an open-source, headless CMS that helps developers manage content for websites and apps. It separates the back-end from the front-end, giving developers the flexibility to use any front-end framework while managing content through customizable APIs like GraphQL and REST.
Exciting news came when Strapi launched Strapi Cloud, a new hosting solution that simplifies deployment by handling server management for developer.s. It offers easy setup, customizable infrastructure, and integrates seamlessly with tools like PostgreSQL and Cloudflare, making it ideal for small and medium businesses.
This launch came shortly after raising substantial funding. Alongside it, the company plans to further enhance its platform and expand on its cloud services. With this strong investor backing and exciting launches, the company is well-positioned for a future of success in the headless CMS space.
