federation-subscription-tools VS Strapi

One solution that we recommend to our enterprise customers is running a decoupled subscriptions service alongside a federated graph. Definitely check out Mandi Wise's blog post, tutorial, and talk explaining the decoupled architecture.

Use an API First open source content tool like Strapi to build a basic content structure (like a news article page) and then connect it to your React User Interface.

This is the route that I have taken. I have a slightly complicated setup with a custom-made Gatsby.js website hosted in an AWS S3 bucket with a Strapi CMS to store all my posts.

the 2 i've heard the best about are strapi and GatsbyJS. i didn't work with them much since i'm kinda stuck with wordpress but both are exelent choices with first class headless support. Keep in mind that to leverage headless to its full extend you would have to build most of the frontend with nextjs or sweltkit or nuxt or what ever you want. it's gives you a REALLY clean codebase, though the generated code might look a bit like the picture in this post.

Using ready-made platforms: Instead of building the infrastructure and platform architecture for microservices from the ground up, you can consider utilizing ready-made platforms that mostly do the heavy lifting. E.g., Amplication, Strapi, AppWrite

refine has connectors for 15+ backend services, including REST API, GraphQL, and popular services like Airtable, Strapi, Supabase, Firebase, and Directus

strapi.io

You're basically looking for any CMS that supports headless mode. E.g. Strapi (https://strapi.io/, NodeJS based), CraftCMS (https://craftcms.com/, PHP based) or countless others.

If you want to leverage OS tools, look into something like Medusa (ecom modules) and Strapi (CMS functionality). Both are respectively the most popular TS/JS-based ecom and CMS architectures in the OS field.

I may not have completely understand your needs, but I feel like you could give Strapi a try. It can be self hosted quite easily, and it's really simple to use for anyone, even for non tech savvy users.
