About Directus

Directus is an open-source CMS platform that instantly transforms any SQL database into a headless CMS and powerful API. It gives developers full backend flexibility while offering non-technical users an intuitive, no-code interface to manage content. Ideal for custom websites, apps, and internal tools, Directus lets you own your infrastructure — whether self-hosted or in the cloud — without sacrificing scalability, extensibility, or control.

Whos is Directus best suited for?

  • Businesses of all sizes — from startups to enterprises that want full control over their data with an open, headless platform.

  • Companies building custom digital experiences — where developers need maximum flexibility and content creators want an intuitive no-code interface.

  • Teams that want to manage content over any SQL database — Directus layers a user-friendly app and powerful APIs directly on top of your existing database.

  • Agencies and development teams handling bespoke projects — Directus excels in highly customized applications where "off-the-shelf" CMSs fall short.

  • Organizations embracing open-source and self-hosting — Directus offers cloud services but also allows full ownership with open-source deployment options.

Example use cases

  • Custom websites and applications — Use Directus as a backend for web, mobile, and desktop apps where standard CMSs can't provide enough flexibility.

  • Internal tools and dashboards — Quickly build internal admin panels, CRMs, or reporting interfaces on top of existing databases.

  • Multi-channel content distribution — Structure content once and deliver it across web apps, mobile apps, kiosks, IoT devices, and more.

  • Data-driven applications — Perfect for apps that need a mix of structured data management and custom frontend experiences.

  • Agencies and development studios — Launch highly customized, client-specific solutions without being constrained by a traditional CMS structure.

Choose Directus when:

  • You want a headless CMS that works with any SQL database — MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server, and more.

  • You need maximum backend flexibility — Directus doesn’t dictate your data structure; it wraps any database schema with APIs and a modern admin app.

  • You want full control and open-source freedom — host it yourself, extend it, or use Directus Cloud depending on your needs.

  • You’re building custom applications or internal tools — and need a CMS that adapts to your project, not the other way around.

  • You want a developer-friendly, API-first architecture — with powerful REST and GraphQL APIs, authentication, access control, and more.
