Introduction
Directus is a free and open-source data platform for headless content management. It can be installed on top of any new or existing SQL database, instantly providing a dynamic API (REST+GraphQL) and accompanying App for managing content. Built entirely in TypeScript (in Node and Vue), Directus is completely modular and end-to-end extensible... with absolutely no paywalls or artificial limitations.
Modern and intuitive, the Directus App enables no-code data discovery, allowing for even the most non-technical users to view, author, and manage your raw database content. Our performant and flexible API is able to adapt to any relational schema, and includes rule-based permissions, event/web hooks, custom endpoints, numerous auth options, configurable storage adapters, and much more.
Current database support includes: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MS-SQL Server, OracleDB, MariaDB, and variants such as AWS Aurora/Redshift or Google Cloud Platform SQL.
