Open-source headless CMS built with TypeScript and React.
Payload CMS is a self-hosted, code-first content management system that gives developers full control over their data structure and admin UI. It combines a powerful API, flexible authentication, file uploads, and localization out of the box. Built on Node.js with MongoDB or Postgres support.
🎯 Why it's useful
Perfect for founders building content-heavy apps who need a customizable backend without vendor lock-in. Own your data and infrastructure while getting a polished admin panel for non-technical team members.
💜 Our take
It's the CMS that actually respects developers—no black box magic, just clean TypeScript config that you fully control. The admin UI looks great without any extra work.
