Hey ProductHunt! I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Webiny Headless CMS. So why you need another Headless CMS? For a change, with this one, you won't worry about scaling, installing, configuring and managing infrastructure. On top of it, Webiny cuts your cloud hosting bill by anywhere between 60% and 80%! You will stop paying for resources you do not use. Now, who doesn't want all that?! Here is a quick overview of some of the features: ✅ Powerful content modelling UI ✅ GraphQL API ✅ Multi-language support ✅ 100% Javascript ✅ Microservices architecture ✅ Support for multiple environments and aliases ... and much more. How is this different than Strapi? Well, Strapi runs on the "traditional" infrastructure, such as virtual machines and similar. That infrastructure is hard to maintain and scale without hiring a big team of expert engineers. Since Webiny runs on serverless infrastructure such as AWS Lambda, it can scale to handle millions of requests out of the box. No need for any performance, devops or network engineers. The other beautiful thing is that with serverless you pay per request. You don't need to heavily over-provision your infrastructure ahead of peak demand events, such as Black Friday and similar. How is this different than Contentful or GraphCMS? Webiny is open-source and you host it yourself. This means you own and have full control over your data. On top of that, you can build custom apps and change any part of the system. Unlike Contentful or GraphCMS where they are a black-box SaaS product which you can't modify. How is this different than Netlify CMS: Netlify CMS is a great solution but it lacks many of the features you'll find in Webiny. Netlify CMS caters for more simple sites. For example, a feature like content modeling is done in code and configuration files. There is no multi-language support, no environments and aliases. Managing users and permissions is very rudimentary. The whole Webiny team is here to answer any of your questions. We hope you give Webiny a try and let us know what you think.

Never made any experiences with Strapi, Contentful, GraphCMS oder Netlify before. Heard of them but never used them. It might be your product that I'll take a look at betimes. It looks great!

I've been an early adopter of Webiny and love this product. It's already well built and very promising. The idea of a headless, self-hosted serverless CMS is going to meet the needs of so many organisations and individuals who need a solution for their distributed architecture.

?makers Today I'm using Cockpit CMS which I feel is fairly similar. I like your pitch, but all this serverless makes me wonder: what do I need from AWS to make this working (minimum). And then, how is that serverless? Maybe you need to educate us a bit more why and how to do this. Sold on the premise, not sure how to execute.

Very happy to see this. The need for a solid, headless and serverless cms has been evident for some time now. Great to see someone finally deliver. I'll be checking this out for possible uses right away.

Disclaimer: I am involved in the project from start, currently in the advisor role. Having worked with almost every CMS there is, testing landing pages, building funnels etc - I know the pain of having a solution that simply doesn't fit end-users needs. Add a technical debt to some of the platforms out there, add skyrocketing cloud costs and slow time-to-market, complexity of the new devices and experiences, I think Webiny has a bright spot in the serverless marketplace in years to come. Give it a try ;)

I see some suggestion that it runs on AWS, GCP, or Azure - which would be really great - but in other places it sounds like it only works on AWS. Can you clarify please?

Congratulations on the launch . I was evaluating couple of Graphql CMS like GraphqlCMS and Sanity , Do you have a comparison on the same for us ? @svenalhamad

Hello, Sven. Congratulations on your launch. You look to have a good product in a competitive marketplace. How would you compare Webiny to Sanity, which is probably the class-leader in user content modelling, and also offers, among others, self-hosting? I'd be careful of speaking ill of your competitors. It looks cheap from a marketing perspective. If your product's good, let it speak for itself. I'd also try to align your core benefits - in your introductory post above you write that Webiny benefits from being open-source, while on your website open-source is portrayed as being negative.

I love the fact I can now use a serverless headless CMS. Webiny makes it easy to use the APIs for content management.

Not something I've tried before, but this looks promising! Left some annotated comments on your landing page here too in relation to conversion optimisation - https://app.usebubbles.com/1b21e...

Hello, Congratulations on the Launch. I wanted to ask about User sign in process and does Webiny offer email and password login , and Social Login like Strapi or not ? and can you provide more details about access rules , as some of the documentation is still not available

I'm testing it and I find it very interesting, good job guys

I made PH account just to thank you! So, Thank you for creating such an awesome CMS. Finally, I have something I can extend ❤️️

Looks great. But any plans to work with a different database? I dislike mongoDB for numerous reasons but in light of your product byline of “Stop paying for stuff you don't use” it seems a strange choice.

I love this idea. I dont prefer mongoDB and wish it supports dynomoDB. Also, instead of using Apolla GraphQL, AppSync could be used. But I completely understand that this is user choice and you cannot make everyone happy. Great work team.

Go Go Go

This is works really great. Serverless, headless :)

Great! Added to https://saasblocks.io/
