Webiny is an open source enterprise CMS platform for users that are looking for great CMS experience, that is underpinned by unparalleled scalability, cost efficiency, infinite customization and data ownership through self-hosting.
Hello Hunters 👋,
I’m Sven, one of the co-founders at Webiny and I want to introduce you to our Enterprise CMS+. Yes, there are 100’s of CMS’s to run a blog, but not many fit enterprise needs.
A few years back we launched our serverless CMS, and in the meantime we’ve talked to over 300 businesses about their needs and frustrations with current solutions on the market. We’ve learned that many companies value privacy, cost and performance above everything else.
Around those learnings we created these guiding principles on how we wanted to build Webiny:
✅ Your data, your rules! → Webiny is self-hosted on top of your own AWS.
✅ Pay only for what you use → Webiny is deployed on top of fault-tolerant, highly scalable serverless infrastructure (Lambda, DynamodDB…) which has consumption based pricing.
✅ Adapt your solution, not your organization → Webiny is Open-source. Don’t like something? You have the ability to change it.
✅ One instance is all you need → Host as many websites or projects as you need on a single code base with full data separation between projects/tenants.
✅ It’s a CMS+ → Page Builder + Headless CMS + Form Builder + File Manager + Your custom app
Another belief we share as a company is that “software is eating the world, and open-source is eating the software”. With that in mind, we open-sourced Webiny and took great care to have an amazing experience for any developer that works with our product. Here are some of the DX features:
💻 MIT license
💻 TypeScript (strict) support
💻 GraphQL API
💻 Great documentation
💻 Infrastructure as code → it takes one command to create and deploy Webiny
💻 Built-in CI/CD support to deploy into multiple environments
Our journey is still not done, as there are too many crappy and old CMS running in many enterprises today. Those content editors, marketers, developers and devops’ shouldn’t suffer through their days working with and maintaining those outdated black boxes.
We are super excited to share what we’ve done so far, but also there are many items on our current roadmap that we’re working on. Some of these are:
⚡️ Advanced content organization - Search and organize content in folders, and nested tags.
⚡️ Dynamic pages - The low-code lovechild of our Headless CMS and Page Builder.
⚡️ Advanced headless CMS search capabilities - Build powerful filters to always find the content you need.
⚡️ Team management - Organize users in teams and assign them fine-grain roles and permissions.

Finally a big shout-out to our community, contributors and existing users that give us inspiration and amazing feedback every day. 🙏 😊 🚀
I would love to hear your thoughts on our current solution as well as our roadmap items. And in case you have a particular feature you would love for us to support, please let us know.

Thanks so much @usamaejaz, thanks for the comment and I really hope so. Webiny is truly unique in its scaling capabilities as well as having a rich feature set. We really hope it'll help organizations scale to meet the needs of their customers and make publishing content easy for large teams.
Hi Hunters! I'm Mislav, leading BizDev/Marketing @Webiny
Adding on what has been mentioned above, one thing I would like to really highlight is the amazing benefit that Webiny locks for your marketing teams. Who can now be completely decoupled from your engineering and have full control to create and manage content, and quickly build landing pages and forms, across multiple web properties.
All this is possible because of the no-code suite of applications that are built within Webiny.
But don't trust me on this, I'm a marketeer, hehe.
Check out the live demo we prepared for you and see for yourself. I would love to hear your feedback on it!

I've followed Webiny for 2 years
When I first encountered it, I was scoping out a new content management system at a rapidly growing FinTech organisation. We'd look at so many other SAAS and self-hosted options, but Webiny shot straight to the top of the list of choices.
Nothing else has the unique architecture that facilitates scale, security and resilience that Webiny does.
On top of that, it's open source and built for customisation, so I knew we could adopt it and turn it into whatever we needed.
It's so awesome to now be part of the team and help bring that huge potential to the organisations that need it the most.
Thanks so much @alexandra_kazakova1, yes it's a bottleneck in large organizations with CMS that are not built for scale. I'm taking it you have experienced that too?
Thank you @elifduran! We're happy to have reached this point where we have validated that the product is not only great for use on a large scale but also appealing for engineering teams to work on.
Thank @binay_singh2!
I would be interested to learn, what's your main use-case for a CMS, is it headless content distribution, building websites or something else?
Congrats @svenalhamad and team on the launch! Love this space!
I had couple of questions, but starting off with one: Let's say I use the NextJS template, will I still be able to use the Page builder you provide? and have that page render as a nextjs page?
Thanks for the question @devanandb, at the moment we have our own solution that compiles and publishes the website. However we are working on the concept of "headless pages", so you can render pages from the page builder using a standalone Next.JS project. We've got some content planned around how you can use Webiny's existing infrastructure-as-code to deploy this Next.js site too.
Does that answer the question? What others did you have in mind?
I've been tracking Webiny from early on and am really impressed by the project as well as the people behind it. This is a great example of not only a headless CMS but also how you can leverage the ubiquity of javascript for infrastructure as code (thanks to pulumi) as well as developer workflow examples leveraging serverless.
If you want to know where web development is headed, this is a great example.
Thanks for the support @shortcipher!
Out of the box you'll find a Headless CMS, Page Builder, Form Builder and File Manager.
In addition to that we have several other apps, and several more that we will be launching this quarter.
I would be curious to hear that's the #1 CMS feature you are looking for?
