Directus
Headless CMS and data platform for SQL databases
About Directus
Directus is a headless data platform built for developers and content teams who need to turn any SQL database into a realtime API and admin app. It provides REST and GraphQL APIs plus a no-code data studio, so teams can manage content and data without migrating databases building custom admin panels for every project. The workflow keeps setup practical for everyday use, with documentation and integrations that fit existing stacks rather than forcing a complete replacement of tools
