Payload is a headless CMS and application framework built with TypeScript. Self-hosted, code-first config, and now runs natively inside Next.js.
Reviewer scorecard
“Open source with a self-hostable option. Remote config + feature flags in one tool reduces tool sprawl.”
“Code-first CMS that runs inside Next.js. Full TypeScript types, access control, and the admin UI is excellent.”
“Solid open-source feature flag platform. The edge proxy for sub-millisecond evaluation is a nice touch.”
“The best headless CMS for developers. Code-first configuration means version control and type safety.”
“The feature flag market is crowded. Flagsmith is good but differentiation is minimal against Unleash and others.”
“CMS inside your Next.js app eliminates the API layer. Payload 3.0 is a paradigm shift for content management.”
