About
Payload is an open-source, code-first headless CMS and application framework built on Next.js, TypeScript, and React. It provides developers with a full backend including an admin panel, authentication, access control, and a local API out of the box. It targets both individual developers and enterprise teams who want full ownership and flexibility over their stack.
Problem
Existing content platforms lock teams into closed ecosystems, limiting developer flexibility and content ownership.
