“Open-source CMS you can self-host. The visual content-type builder and plugin system are well-designed.”
“OpenAPI specs are documentation, testing, and client generation in one file. Non-negotiable for REST APIs.”
“For teams that need a self-hosted CMS, Strapi is the most mature open-source option. Large community.”
