Webiny
What it is
Webiny is a programmable content platform combining a Headless CMS, Website Builder, File Manager, and administration panel. Developers can define models, APIs, workflows, and behavior in code, with AI agents available for building and customization. It provides GraphQL APIs, localized content, custom role permissions, webhooks, and content preview. Lifecycle events can trigger automations and connect other systems. One instance can manage multiple sites, brands, customers, or markets as isolated tenants. Deployment options include AWS serverless hosting and a local Standalone mode labeled alpha and local-only. Standalone code can move to AWS, but content migration awaits a script. The Website Builder includes a Next.js SDK and supports deployment to Vercel or another cloud platform. Governance features include audit logs, versioning, rollback, permissions, and publishing workflows. Community is free forever; Business Small starts at $79 a month. Enterprise offers custom limits and pricing.
