A primer on Payload ...
— The fastest growing headless CMS in our category.
— Next.js native, so it can seamlessly integrate it into your Next app. You can also one-click deploy on Vercel.
— Fully open-source, offering the flexibility of self-hosting or managed hosting.
— Fully TypeScript, eliminating the need to navigate through a UI – simply configure everything in code.
— Highly extensible, granting you full control over custom hooks, endpoints, and more. It's not just a CMS; you can extend it to become a comprehensive backend for any application you build.
— Use as a standalone app if you're working with other frameworks.
