Matija Maronhić Studying Strapi An open-source headless CMS
🤔
Maintaining the site ≠ Maintaining content
At Orbit • our documentation is for developers and designers
• we have a technical writer that happens to be good at development • so we can get away with Gatsby + MDX + bunch of other stu ff • but nobody else will know how to update it, including future technical writers who aren’t tech-savvy
Headless CMS • content fetched via API requests • decoupling
content from development • more fl exibility = less likely to be refactored
Options • 25+ • WordPress • NetlifyCMS • Contentful •
Strapi • DatoCMS • …
Why Strapi? • tried NetlifyCMS (barely), Prismic, and DatoCMS •
options I checked out either didn’t have a free plan or it seemed too limited • Strapi’s free plan has unlimited API calls
Contentful? • great reviews on Twitter • free plan •
25K records—I probably read this wrong the last time • 2 million API calls per month • fi rst paid plan is $489/mo 😅 💸
Improvement Day plan 1. learn the basics of Strapi 2.
integrate it with Next.js or Gatsby 3. pro fi t
Basics • I was trying to fi nd “slow start”
• npx create - my - app commands usually do too much this escalated quickly
Basics • REST API by default, but supports GraphQL •
comprehensive CLI • various plugins • email using services like Sendgrid, Mailgun etc. • editing stu ff sometimes changes fi les in the fi lesystem
None
Conclusions • I wish I knew more about backend •
Strapi seems to be very DYI • so far I’m comfortable with that • however, I’ll explore Contentful before continuing with this experiment
General goals • control over the admin interface • maximum
user-friendliness • next to zero developer intervention • editing (eventually) updates the site • preview 🤞 🤞 🤞
