Directus

🧑🍳💋

Warum ich mein Standard-Headless-CMS von Strapi zu Directus🐰 gewechselt habe 🛠️ Die letzten Jahre habe ich standardmäßig Strapi als Headless CMS genutzt und war eigentlich ganz happy damit. Why dann wechseln? 🤷🏼♂️ kurz und knackig: 🪞Direkte Datenbankspiegelung Directus spiegelt erstmal nur deine Datenbank. Das bedeutet, dass wir die volle Kontrolle über unsere Datenstruktur behalten und keine zusätzliche, abstrahierte Schicht benötigen. Mit Strapi —> NO CHANCE! Wir können also bspw. einfach eine bereits existierende Datenbank mit Directus nutzen und sind ready to go 🚀 Das ist besonders interessant, wenn ein Projekt von einem bestehenden CMS zu Directus migriert werden soll. 👀 Einfache Projekt-Struktur Strapi‘s Projekt-Struktur ist wesentlich komplexer / komponentenreicher als die von Directus und setzt stark auf lokale Dateien, die dann mit Life-Cycle-Hooks, anderen Komponenten und APIs zum Leben erweckt werden. Directus‘s Projekt-Struktur ist maximal Datenbank fokussiert und hat nur wenige lokale Dateien. Hierdurch ist Directus zum einen tendenziell weniger Fehleranfällig und in der CMS-Experience wesentlich angenehmer, weil hier nicht bei Änderungen der CMS-Struktur das ganze System neu gestartet werden muss (das kann bei Strapi manchmal ganz schön nervig sein) 🚀 Automatisierung mit Flows Die Flow-Funktion von Directus ist der absolute Gamechanger!! Einfach im Handumdrehen komplexe Automatisierungen aufsetzen, ohne eine Line Code zu schreiben 😍 (hierzu gibts demnächst nochmal einen detaillierteren Post) Guckts euch mal in den Directus Docs an: https://lnkd.in/eF4VCUH5 Generell bin ich sehr happy mit dem Wechsel, auch wenn Strapi auch eine super Lösung ist! Nur glaube ich, dass Directus viel zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit bekommt (irgendwie vermarktet Strapi sich einfach besser 😅) Was ist dein Go-To Headless CMS?

Can you build a MULTI-TENANT SAAS APP in 1 hour? In this episode of "100 Apps, 100 Hours," watch as a sleep-deprived developer attempts to build a team-based to-do app in 60 minutes. What could possibly go wrong? Highlights: - Fumbling through data models like a bull in a china shop - Cursing at permissions settings that refuse to cooperate - Realizing halfway through that TypeScript might have been a good idea - Building a UI that only a mother could love - Narrowly avoiding a nervous breakdown as the clock ticks down Watch in mild amusement as Bryant battles buggy code, questionable design choices, and his own sleep-deprived brain. Will he finish in time? Will the app actually work? Does anyone really need another to-do app? Tune in for an hour of coding chaos, dubious decision-making, and a reminder that maybe, just maybe, complex SaaS applications weren't meant to be built in an hour.
