Strapi
🚀 Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% JavaScript/TypeScript, fully customizable and developer-first.
Project mention: Ask HN: Best OSS SQL Query Builder in Any Language | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-08https://prisma.io is popular as I understand it. I've been trying out https://strapi.io the last week and am thoroughly impressed.
They both do much more than build queries. One big thing both do is automate database migration calculations. Strapi goes further and gives you a CMS and admin UI on top, as well as doing a lot more of the complex query building from a json object. Both still require a fundamental understanding of the data model and SQL

How about some succinct data structures and delta encoding for modern databases [1]. Succinct data structures are a family of data structures which are close in size to the information theoretic minimum representation (while still being queryable).

shopware
Shopware 6 is an open commerce platform based on Symfony Framework and Vue and supported by a worldwide community and more than 1.500 community extensions
$asset-path has been deprecated. Use $app-css-relative-asset-path instead, which is relative to the app.css that points to the asset folder. As a side effect, the fonts are now loaded from the theme folder instead of the bundle asset folder. This should work out of the box, because all assets of the theme are also copied into the theme folder. (UPGRADE-6.4.md)

These reasons (and many others) are why I decided to create Vrite - an open-source developer content platform.

Yeah, in hindsight, we would have used Next/Vercel. So we're tactically moving over to that. There are many new frameworks, like Astro, that are really exciting, but it seems like Next is the best choice if you have a data-heavy app that has a dynamic mix of SSR and static pages. For Wordpress in particular, I'd recommend that you check out Faust.js. It's build with Next and I'm amazed by how well it works with Wordpress without much effort: https://faustjs.org/
