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
“This is the kind of tool that makes you wonder how you worked without it.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
“Solid execution. Does what it promises and the DX is clean.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
