Payload

A headless CMS that runs inside Next.js

What it is

Payload is a headless CMS and app framework in TypeScript that can be added to a new or existing Next.js app. You define content as collections in code, and the admin panel, APIs, access rules and authentication are generated from them. Versions, drafts, localisation and live preview are built in, with MongoDB or Postgres as the database.

Install
npx create-payload-app
Why it made the cut
  • Runs in the same project as your Next.js app
  • Admin panel and APIs generated from config
  • Versions, localisation and live preview built in
