Reviewer scorecard
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“The best local development experience for edge functions. Miniflare emulates the entire Cloudflare platform locally.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“Local emulation of D1, R2, KV, and Durable Objects means you develop at full speed without deploys.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
“Local-first development tools for edge platforms will become the standard. Wrangler leads this pattern.”
