Strapi Cons

Limited to 3 roles on Open Source Edition

Its very resource intensive to run (requires 1GB of RAM/instance), and without multitenancy, it is very difficult to scale. Most of the bugs have been fixed since it moved past beta To compare with another headless CMS without multitenancy, you can fit 4 installs of Ghost on 1GB of ram To compare with WordPress which isn't headless, can be multitenant, its minimum requirements are 512mb of ram

Own Your Data

Rated 5 out of 5
September 2, 2021

CMS experience for non-technical teams: marketing, product, content, etc. Graphql api to avoid lock-in. Tomorrow you can take your data to AWS Appsync, etc 3. Ownership of the data: Contentful, Prismic, etc are great – but Strapi allows you to own the data. Even in its simplest form, its a sqlite file you can check in to git.
