Directus

Directus is an open-source headless CMS and data platform, an alternative to Contentful that wraps any SQL database in an instant REST and GraphQL API plus a polished admin app. Unlike content-only tools, Directus mirrors your real database schema, so you can layer it over an existing database or design a new one and manage the data through a configurable no-code studio. It offers granular role and permission controls, flexible relational data modeling, file and asset management with on-the-fly image transforms, flows for automation, and webhooks for integrations.

StoresWiki LLC runs Directus as a managed, hosted service on a dedicated private instance. We handle deployment, version upgrades, security patches, backups, and monitoring, and we keep the database and API responsive as content and traffic grow. Your data lives in a standard SQL database you own and can query directly, with no per-seat SaaS fees and no proprietary content lock-in.

Developers and content teams get a flexible backend and CMS without running infrastructure. We keep it patched, backed up, and available while you model data and ship content.
