Reviewer scorecard
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“Python script to interactive web app with zero frontend code. The caching and state management work well.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“For data scientists who don't want to learn React, Streamlit is the best option. Quick prototyping and dashboards.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
“The UI options are limited compared to real frontend frameworks. Fine for internal tools, not for customer-facing apps.”
