Reviewer scorecard
“10x faster package installs, native TypeScript, and built-in test runner. It's replacing Node.js in my new projects.”
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“Speed is real and measurable. Node.js compatibility is good enough for most projects. The future of JS runtimes.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“Bun is forcing Node.js to improve. Competition in runtimes benefits everyone. Speed + DX is the winning combination.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
