Squidex VS Directus

I like angular. I have been using it since the beta for https://github.com/squidex/squidex, but Migrations are time consuming...

Yes, I already do that and have OTLP integration and use a few Google Cloud products for custom metrics. But I work on an Open Source project: https://github.com/squidex/squidex There are 2 reasons for built-in metrics: 1. Provide basic metrics for my users, even if they do not use any of these solutions. 2. I need the metrics for billing and to implement API call limits. Therefore there are different aggregations. Some metrics are aggregated by month, other by day. To check whether a limit has been reached I only need one request on a primary key.

Just look at open source .Net core projects. https://github.com/Squidex/squidex Is a good one.

My GitHub account is linked to company profiles and products, e.g. https://github.com/squidex/squidex, which should give you a guarantee to receive the money.

I chose SquidexCMS for the starter free pricing:

As of April 2024, Directus' GitHub repository has accumulated 25.2k stars and 3.5k forks, showcasing its active community. The project has secured $8+ million in funding, further fueling its growth and development.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

The Backend to Build Anything or Everything | Directus

Along those lines, I’ve been happy with Directus as a backend for my little blog.

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

It depends on your skillsets, but I'd highly recommend https://directus.io/ especially if you need "slickness" to raise money otherwise try a pyhat stack if you hate javascript.

The admin is extremely unacceptable for anything beyond trivial borderline trivial use cases, and the modifications you'd have to make are just awful especially the more interactive something needs to be. The extremely tight integration between models and the modeladmin is a blessing and curse.

The people who like Django,also tend to overload it to do everything. This makes sense at small companies. The only place I really see Django at large companies is as an api using DRF or something.

For internal admins, I've been lobbying to use https://directus.io/ at my company.

I initially looked into CMS's like Strapi and Directus to possibly handle my admin UI + API all at once. I haven't found anything that looks like it can do this yet, but I'd be very happy to be proven wrong. I would prefer it to be based in .NET or Node.js since I am more familiar with those, but there's no reason I couldn't do PHP either.
