Fast API, Easy to use, Free Forever!

The Directus interface is very easy to use, it's built to be efficient and is exactly that, my users don't have any issues with understanding how to create, read, update or delete rows of data. As a developer, the API is very easy to work with making it quick to get the data I need. The recent move to Node is a move in the right direction and works exceptionally speedy!

Performant, Scalable Headless CMS

The team behind Directus updates the software at a very fast pace, they are quick to respond to bugs or queries as well. Version 9 of the CMS was a game-changer when it came to performance. CMS itself is very extendable. Currently the best CMS in the open-source stack.

Directus is a platform that I admire as a volunteer localizator. It can handle any database, has a simple and intuitive admin tool, and offers a secure and well-documented API. It also has great open-source support and enterprise solutions. The best thing about Directus is how it brings simplicity to complex data management tasks.

I'm a French front dev. I work and learn on my own. My first steps were in php, then symfony, and now I only code in js with nextJS and especially "Directus". Directus helps me avoid spending time on a backend and reinvent the wheel. Headless CMS, Baas, even help with authentication and so many other things now that I've never even created a personal tool. What I love about Directus is its community. Always responding, always finding a way to help, and WTH it's free. You're the best thing that ever happened to me as a developer, thanks for giving me the pleasure of doing what I love.

Save me a lot of time, every day

Iterative app design is made incredibly easy with Directus as a backend. Its ability to generate consistent and reliable database structures and APIs has allowed me to quickly prototype, test, and deploy new versions of my app without any hassle. Highly extensible by nature. This has enabled me to customize and expand my applications according to my specific requirements. The platform's open-source nature allows for seamless integration of custom extensions, ensuring that I can tailor my app to my exact needs.

Solid, easy to use, dependable CMS

Directus is an SQL wrapper. One can start with an existing DB schema or use the app to build the schema. When one's done, the resultant is a database that could be moved to another solution with little effort. This ensures that I'm using a product but not locked into it. That said, I can't see any reason we would leave it in the near term. It now works with most databases, the admin tool is easy to use (even for the non-technical), it provides an API, security is solid, documentation is clean, open-source support is solid, and the enterprise offerings fit all our possible needs.

Game Changer

The more flexible tool I've ever tried. I used other Headless CMS, and I can say Directus is the only one that takes content management to another level. Extremely friendly and modern for the users and with the database mirroring and the different ways make the information accessible, it is the most potent tool for any development approach.

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!

Fullstack Developer

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.

A perfect combination of design, functionality and customization

The first thing that strikes the attention is the care of its aesthetics, for some time now many web applications seem to be cut with the same pattern, designed with the same fashionable framework, directus has personality, a very intuitive style of its own. The next most surprising thing is the amount of data types, visual elements and options that allow you to create almost any data model and administration interface with a few clicks for any user with very basic notions, in addition, it has a system that allows you to create any type of extension for more advanced users with very specific needs. The user management and especially the permissions is one of the best I've seen, it covers any common use case, super flexible and granular. The API design is impeccable, they have thought of everything. It never ceases to amaze me, you can tell that the team is very close to the needs of its users, they add new features very quickly, they listen to all proposals, the experience is very noticeable. For my work, it has been the best I have found in years, it allows me to simplify more than 60% of the creation of any web application without compromising anything and to focus on creating interfaces, ultimately reduce time and costs without losing quality. 100% recommended, all other alternatives I've tried fall very short.

Directus is an SQL wrapper that offers flexibility whether you're starting with an existing database schema or building one from scratch using its intuitive app. Once your database is set up, it can be effortlessly transitioned to another solution, ensuring you're not locked into a single product. Despite this flexibility, we see no reason to move away from Directus in the foreseeable future. It supports most databases, boasts an easy-to-use admin tool suitable for even non-technical users, and provides a robust API. The security measures are solid, documentation is clear, open-source support is strong, and the enterprise offerings meet all our needs. What immediately stands out is Directus's aesthetic appeal. Unlike many web applications that follow the same trendy frameworks, Directus has a distinctive, intuitive style. Another impressive aspect is the variety of data types, visual elements, and options available. This flexibility allows users with basic knowledge to create almost any data model and administration interface with just a few clicks. Additionally, it offers advanced users the ability to create custom extensions to meet specific needs. The user management and permissions system is among the best I've seen, offering flexibility and granularity to cover any common use case. The API design is impeccable, covering every potential need. The responsiveness of the Directus team is evident—they quickly add new features and listen to user feedback, enhancing the overall experience. In my work, Directus has been a game-changer, simplifying over 60% of the web application creation process without compromising quality. This allows me to focus on designing interfaces, ultimately reducing time and costs. I highly recommend Directus. It surpasses all other alternatives I've tried.

AI platform Engineer for Muniplicity

I’m an AI platform engineer and founder of a company focused on modernizing municipal websites. We specialize in transforming outdated, hard-to-maintain systems into clean, high-performance platforms that are easy for both staff and residents to use. In our stack, Directus serves as the core backend — powering structured data, content management, and API delivery across all of our projects. Directus has been a major enabler in how we build. It gives us a fully customizable data layer without locking us into rigid CMS patterns. The ability to instantly expose SQL databases through REST and GraphQL APIs — combined with granular permissions and extensibility — allows us to move fast while still maintaining a high level of control and security. It fits perfectly into modern architectures and works seamlessly alongside our AI integrations and custom frontends. The best thing about Directus is its flexibility. It doesn’t try to dictate how you build — it gives you the tools to design your system exactly how you want. Whether it’s modeling complex relational data, building dynamic content systems, or integrating with external services, Directus stays out of the way while still providing a powerful and intuitive interface. That balance is rare, and it’s what makes it such a strong foundation for serious applications.

Directus is very simple to deploy, extremely quick to get started with, and follows established patterns for API and admin UI very well which makes it easy to integrate into a project. Also the licensing model is very favorable to projects which have many infrequent users, which is a unique advantage for Directus.

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).

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 discovered Directus few years ago when it was written in PHP. Since then, I use it for nearly all the websites I do. It has all the features that me and my clients want to manage their content, a beautiful and easy-to-use interface without non-wanted things. I use it with tools like Astro, Nuxt and other SSR/SSG engines and it's amazing. Thank you for your awesome work.

Our new favorite headless CMS

The ability to easily define complex relations while at the same time making it simple for users to input data at scale without having to touch the database or restart the application. It just works on the fly. It‘s also important to mention that the core team makes every effort to encourage their community to share ideas or criticism and continue to adapt the application based on community feedback. It's truly an open-source project. Pair it with a nice, responsive and good-looking UI and you‘ll have a really nice product with tons of features without overstraining the user.

Perfect for your backend needs

Directus is an excellent choice for creating backend systems. You can extend the base of Directus to whatever your project needs. For example, you can create custom interfaces logic and much more. On top of that, Directus takes care of your SQL queries, which means you can make a project way faster. Also, the API supports JSON REST and GraphQL. The backend schema`s for the Rest and GrapQL API is updated in real-time. After adding/changing a field, it will be there, ready to be used as CRUD!

I do the administration for a Scout Group and trying to match payments from the bank account to who is paying and who has paid for things like trips and camps was a nightmare but now with the use of CSV imports and the endless customisability of flows I have a quick and simple way of managing how our group finances in a entuative mobile friendly UI.

I was immediately blown away by the capabilities Directus provides. Wether it's used for multi-language web applications, for a quick API of my databases or private shenanigans – it's quick to setup and "it just works"™. The documentation is nearly perfect and the communication of the Directus team top-notch, whether it's support or updates. I love working with Directus.

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
