I'm an indie mobile developer and online teacher at purplegiraffe.fr I've been teaching mobile app creation for 7 years now and so far, students were struggling with web service creation.
I tried many other solutions but Directus has been by far the best for them to learn and for me to use in real projects.
I created a complete Directus course for my students which they love: purplegiraffe.fr/p/monetisation-gagnez-argent-apps-mobiles and I regularly mention Directus in my YouTube channel youtube.com/@PurpleGiraffe (both are in French).
Recently I started being a bit more active on the project GitHub by responding to conversations and contributing small PRs. I even created a Directus ORM library for my Dart/Flutter projects: github.com/maxbritto/directus_api_manager.
Now every time I start a project for a client, I consider Directus as my backend management. Thanks for all the great work!

I'm a full-stack web developer with a particular interest in content management systems (CMS). Currently, I am working on launching a multilingual website using Directus CMS. This platform offers a powerful suite of tools that allows me to easily manage and deliver content across multiple languages.
Directus has been a game-changer for my work. It provides a clean, user-friendly interface, and its headless nature gives me the flexibility to deliver content wherever I need to, be it web, mobile, or any other platform. Its built-in multilingual support has simplified the process of building a multilingual website, eliminating the need for cumbersome plugins or external solutions. Furthermore, its API-first approach makes it easy to integrate with other systems, saving me a significant amount of development time.
There are many great features in Directus, but if I had to choose one, it would be its flexibility. Being a headless CMS, it decouples the content from the presentation layer, meaning I can use it with any technology stack. This opens up a world of possibilities in terms of where and how I can deliver content. Additionally, the fact that it's open-source means that the system is constantly evolving and improving. It has a robust and supportive community, so if I run into a problem, chances are someone else has already found a solution.
Compared to other systems like Strapi, I've found Directus to be more intuitive and adaptable to my specific needs.

Next to my techy job, I'm a enthusiast of digital work and try to make my life easier. With the help of Directus, I've setup a lot of projects around my daliy family life, such as handling invoices, pocket money for the kids, tracking our newborn's health data with an alerting system and much more.
All this can be achieved with just using Directus, super less effort with maximum outcome.
For me it like a Swiss army knife – if I can think of a problem I might have the solution just a few clicks away.

I'm João, I'm a software engineer from Brazil. I'm now developing online games and using Directus to manage all the content we have. Translations, website content, in-game data, player data, statistics, rankings, balancing, formulas, Discord bot, live game feed and so much more.
I first contributed to Directus back in 2017/2018, eventually became part of the core team, and left a while ago to invest in my own projects. Directus is one of those things that you can only imagine (if you don't already know it) and feel how awesome would it be if you had it in your hands.
It's that tool that will take a lot from your back, get those 80% (sometimes even 100%) with <20% of work, allow you to iterate so fast on things that would otherwise be boring and repetitive that you would drop an idea just to imagine the time you'd take to create it from scratch.
Since 2018, I haven't found a single project that deals with databases where I wasn't able to figure out how Directus could have helped, or a project that I created/developed/maintained myself that I haven't used it (take for example what I mentioned I work with right now). It completely replaced most of my "microservices", took away the pain of writing CRUDs and repetitive APIs, and provided a really nice administration dashboard for team members to use.
It's getting better and better, faster than I what I can keep up with. The community is great, the core team is awesome, has a codebase that you can actually read and understand because of how clean it is, and the features cover almost anything you can think of (and if it doesn't, you can probably do it creating or using extensions).

I'm an open source enthusiast that helps teams set up light MVPs to validate their business model, collect and validate well-structured data early on, and implement automated workflows for their content.
I'm also a proud voluntary sponsor of Directus on Github. Directus offers an amazing forms, fields and analytics interface that sits on top of the PostgreSQL database, which makes the data easily reusable by other tools.
The best thing about Directus is its highly customizable role-based access control interface which allows for field-level view/edit permissions. This ensures data is protected and unlocks easy implementation of segmented workflows for different actors from a single table/record.

I’m Luca Pulira CTO, senior IT consultant, full stack developer, and solution architect since the early 80s. I usually adopt Directus as a server for frontend as support CMS and MDM for Vue/Nuxt headless architecture.
I use Directus in production as support CMS for dressyoucan.com and I’m moving to fully adopt Directus as the primary CMS. I’m still evaluating if I should use it as customer manager or put a auth0 in front of all services and use SSO.
At the moment our order and product manager is an old WooCommerce server that will be replaced soon with a Pimcore platform and PIM and we are evaluating to use Stripe checkout as payment and order manager.
I like so much Directus data management and extensions and for me is very easy to integrate Vue dashboard. Another feature I like is the easy approach to workflows. I developed several custom operations to manage catalogs and automation.

I am absolutely thrilled with Directus and the speed it offers for web development. The interface is beautiful and the authorization system is top-notch. It's extensible and gives me plenty of flexibility to create exactly what I need.
And the best part? It's completely free and open-source, making it accessible to anyone who needs it. The documentation is detailed and easy to understand, and the active community means I always have access to support when I need it.
I highly recommend Directus to anyone looking for an efficient and powerful CMS. In addition to my admiration for Directus, I've also had the pleasure of contributing to the community by building a theme builder for Directus. With this, users can easily customize and create their own unique themes.
It's been a rewarding experience to be able to give back to such a great project and community, and I look forward to being involved with Directus for years to come. heuve.link/directus-themebuilder
