directus by Directus is an open-source data platform and headless CMS that turns any SQL database into a flexible API and an intuitive administration app. It connects to new or existing databases without changing your schema, automatically generating REST and GraphQL endpoints, content management interfaces, and dashboards. Teams can model data, author content, manage files, and enforce granular, role-based permissions with an audit log and revisions. Real-time updates, webhooks, and visual automation flows support dynamic, event-driven experiences, while an extension framework lets you customize interfaces, hooks, and modules to fit your workflows. You can deploy Directus self-hosted or in the cloud to power websites, apps, and internal tools with a clean, vendor-neutral stack.
