Strapi VS Directus

This is where Strapi a flexible and scalable content management solution is needed.

This case is not rare, you can find another case here: https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/21967

Strapi 5.1: Introducing Relay-style GraphQL queries to boost API performance (Strapi GitHub).

Strapi offers multiple authentication methods to secure your application:

One of the features of the Strapi CMS is the ability it gives you to unlock the full potential of content management, thus allowing you to build custom features for yourself and the community. Victor Coisne, the VP of marketing at Strapi, explained this in his article “Building Communities That Drive Growth”.

Strapi

import { quote } from "../components/quote"; const registerComponent = (strapi: Core.Strapi) => { strapi.components[`custom.quote`] = quote as any; const attributes = strapi.contentType("api::special.special").attributes; const schema = strapi.contentType("api::special.special")["__schema__"] .attributes; const componentReference = { type: "component", repeatable: false, component: "custom.quote", }; // @ts-expect-error - attributes waiting to be updated https://github.com/strapi/strapi/blob/cc6c39db185a337e2eafce8bcf06544351e92cc5/packages/core/types/src/struct/schema.ts#L13 attributes["customField"] = componentReference; schema["customField"] = componentReference; };

We'll be using Strapi for our backend API layer. Strapi is a headless, decoupled, API-driven content management system that lets you manage and serve content directly from an admin panel—in just a few minutes.

In this 3-part series, I will walk you through building a robust customer support portal using Strapi, GPT, and Next.js. You will learn how to set up the backend, integrate AI-driven support using GPT, and implement user authentication to manage customer queries effectively, ensuring a seamless experience that fosters trust and loyalty. For the first part of this series, you will learn how to set up Strapi for the backend of your customer support portal.

If you're working with Directus, the open-source headless CMS and data platform, then Directus.js is your new best friend.

It seems to really be an ad for Directus (https://directus.io/) (?)

Directus (directus.io):

Sanity, Contentful, and Hygraph are a few examples. Very often a CMS has a pricing page, but is also open-source, and has docs on how to self-host it for free. A great example of that is Directus, and there is no need to avoid those CMS.

3. Directus (A No-Code/Low-Code Platform for Data-Driven Development)

The change licence in Directus simply seems to be GPL3:

https://github.com/directus/directus/blob/main/directus/lice...

The only provision they have added is that if a business uses it in production and that business has >5 revenue/funding then they have to obtain a commercial licence.

Some solutions are flexible to handle multiple types of databases. Often allowing you to combine them into a single API. We already mentioned Dreamfactory, but others include Apinizer, Directus, and sandman2.

I would also recommend looking at Directus (https://directus.io).

We evaluated PayloadCMS to drive the backend of a mobile app and eventually settled on Directus because it supported heterogeneous collections which was something we had to have.

Directus also has a template for a multi-tenant app which sounds like something you might need.
