Strapi

Strapi is an open-source headless content management system and JavaScript framework used for defining content schemas and managing structured data. It functions as a REST and GraphQL API gateway that decouples backend data storage from frontend delivery. The system includes a self-hosted administration interface for managing content entries and defining data models without manual database queries.

The framework utilizes a plugin-based extension system to inject custom logic into the application lifecycle. It employs schema-driven content modeling to automatically generate database tables and API endpoints based on configuration files.

The platform covers content management, API delivery, and custom backend development. It provides tools for local development orchestration using containers to ensure consistent environments for testing and deployment.
