contentful

Contentful is a cloud-based headless content management system and content infrastructure designed to manage the creation, governance, and delivery of digital content across multiple channels. It separates content from presentation, allowing developers to build with their preferred front-end frameworks while editors manage content via a web-based interface.

The platform centers on a flexible content model consisting of content types, fields, and entries, plus assets such as images and videos. It supports localization for multi-language sites, rich text fields, and content versioning. Contentful provides multiple APIs for interaction: a Content Delivery API for retrieving published content, a Content Management API for authoring and workflow, and a GraphQL or REST interface for querying. Webhooks enable automation in response to content events. The service includes a web-based content editor and official SDKs and tooling for JavaScript, iOS, Android, and other ecosystems.

Contentful operates as a multi-tenant software-as-a-service with a global delivery network, optimized asset delivery via a content delivery network, and role-based access control. It is commonly used to power websites, mobile apps, digital experiences, and other multi-channel channels, enabling teams to publish and synchronize content across web, mobile, devices, and IoT.
