Payload

Payload is a TypeScript-first headless CMS and application framework that works with both MongoDB and PostgreSQL. You define your content model and API routes in TypeScript, and Payload generates the database schema, admin dashboard, and REST and GraphQL APIs automatically. It's built for developers who want a modern, type-safe approach to content management.

This appeals to development teams building content-heavy applications who want full control over their backend and data model. Unlike traditional CMS platforms, Payload integrates directly into your Node.js app, so you're not managing a separate service. It's closer to an app framework with CMS features than a standalone content platform.
