What is Strapi?
Strapi is an open-source, Node.js based, headless CMS that saves developers a lot of development time while giving them the freedom to use their favorite tools and frameworks. Strapi also enables content editors to streamline content delivery (text, images, video, etc) across any devices. It is 100% JavaScript, fully customizable and developer-first. Strapi gives developers an API (either Rest or GraphQL) to power anything from websites to mobile apps through an admin interface.

Innovative Content Management with Strapi.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Strapi from other similar products?
The major differentiator is that it's engineered to ensure a seamless dual-user experience. While developers may appreciate advanced-level tools such as Content-Type Builder or the formidable API capabilities, content authors make use of their intuitive Admin. This is appropriately dual-designed-from the most hardcore technical to non-technical users of all backgrounds and levels.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The favorite feature is its friendly interface, which is both simple and functional. Using a visual editor and drag-and-drop tooling, content creators can design and manage the asset quickly. This combination of power and ease drives content-driven initiatives significantly faster to market.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The issue is that it is very frequently updated, and this often causes instability or incompatibility. Companies that rely on long-term, stable deployments may find it challenging to keep up with constant updates and they continuously require the attention of developers to ensure system reliability.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
First, make sure that your team is ready for the setup and maintenance effort. Strapi has some advanced features that could take more development resources to scale. For organizations with the proper technical foundation, the long-term benefits outweigh the upfront challenges.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
