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
“Free tier with no restrictions is remarkable. Completion quality rivals Copilot for most languages.”
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“Hard to argue with free. The enterprise features and Windsurf IDE show they have a real business model beyond the free tier.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“Giving away code completion to win IDE market share with Windsurf is a smart long-term play.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
