What is Contentful?
Contentful is a cloud-based headless content management platform that stores content as structured data and delivers it through APIs to websites, mobile apps, and other digital channels. Founded in Berlin in 2013, the company serves thousands of organizations including large enterprises that need to manage content across multiple brands, regions, and touchpoints. In June 2026 Salesforce signed a definitive agreement to acquire Contentful, with the deal expected to close later that year.
The platform provides a visual content modeling tool, REST and GraphQL APIs, multi-locale localization, and role-based permissions. Paid plans add features such as real-time collaboration, scheduled publishing, and AI-assisted content generation, translation, and personalization tools built into the product.
