Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“The simplest way to get typed, validated outputs from LLMs. Pydantic integration is natural for Python developers.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Does one thing perfectly. No over-abstraction, just structured outputs. The anti-LangChain.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“Structured outputs are the bridge between LLMs and traditional software. Instructor makes that bridge trivial to build.”
