What is Strapi?

Strapi is an open-source headless content management system built on Node.js and TypeScript that lets developers define content types visually and automatically generates REST and GraphQL APIs for them. Founded in Paris in 2016, Strapi is MIT-licensed, meaning the Community Edition can be self-hosted for free with no feature limits on core functionality, on infrastructure of the user's choosing.

For teams that prefer managed hosting, Strapi Cloud offers paid plans starting at 35 dollars per month per project, scaling up through Pro and Business tiers with higher API request limits, storage, and backup frequency. An Enterprise tier adds single sign-on, audit logs, review workflows, and SLA-backed support for larger organizations.
