payload
The best way to build a modern backend + admin UI. No black magic, all TypeScript, and fully open-source, Payload is both an app framework and a headless CMS.
All of the test code is available and open-source. You can take a look at how we seed, what the queries we use look like, and how the test itself is structured. You can also run the tests yourself!
This is all quite a bit more complex than what you have to do in Payload. With Payload, a developer coming into the project for the first time just runs yarn dev. That's it. With Directus, there are quite a few more steps. We spent about a day trying to figure out if there was any way to export collection configs / re-import them into a new project but we gave up because we couldn't find anything in the docs. There are some discussions about adding import / export endpoints which would be a great feature, but as of now the process was a bit difficult for us.
We knew that Payload was fast and we place a lot of emphasis on ensuring that it performs as quickly as possible, but with our recent addition of the dataloader pattern, our result surprised even us.
We're completely free, MIT-licensed and open-source. If you haven't already, stop by our GitHub page and leave us a star by clicking on the star icon in the top right corner. This helps us grow and gain exposure within the development community.
