Directus wraps any SQL database with a REST/GraphQL API and admin UI. Unlike traditional CMS, it works with your existing database schema.
Reviewer scorecard
“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“Amazon's enterprise distribution ensures adoption. The AWS-specific capabilities create a defensible niche.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
