FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Strapi is an open-source headless CMS built on Node.js. It gives developers a flexible, self-hosted content API (REST and GraphQL) while giving editors a clean admin interface for managing content. Unlike SaaS CMS options, Strapi is free to self-host with no content volume limits.

We develop with Strapi v5, which introduced the Document Service API, improved TypeScript support, and a more predictable plugin architecture. For existing v4 projects, we support and maintain the current version while planning v5 migrations strategically.

We design content types based on your editorial requirements - single types for global settings, collection types for repeating content (articles, products, team members), and nested components and dynamic zones for flexible page building. Good content modeling prevents technical debt in your CMS.

Yes. Strapi's built-in i18n plugin enables per-locale content on collection and single types. We configure locale-specific API endpoints, set fallback locales, and handle the PUT /api/{type}/{documentId}?locale={locale} pattern for locale creation and updates.

We use the Strapi OpenAPI schema to generate TypeScript types for the frontend via openapi-typescript. This gives the Next.js frontend fully typed API responses that stay in sync with the Strapi schema - no manual type maintenance between CMS changes.

Yes. Strapi's plugin architecture allows extending the admin UI with custom panels, adding middleware, creating custom API routes, and registering lifecycle hooks. Kultrix has built plugins for custom approval workflows, third-party sync, and content audit logging.

The default Strapi media library is limited for production use. We configure the Cloudinary provider or AWS S3 provider for scalable, CDN-delivered media. For image optimization, we apply Cloudinary transformation parameters (f_auto, q_auto, w_*) in the frontend template.

We deploy Strapi on Railway (recommended for simplicity), AWS ECS, or a VPS with PM2. We configure PostgreSQL (never SQLite in production), set environment variables for all secrets, enable CORS for the frontend domain, and set up health check endpoints for monitoring.

Strapi's REST API serves JSON and is as scalable as any Node.js API behind a load balancer. For content-heavy sites, we add Redis caching, serve static content via CDN, and use Next.js ISR to minimize Strapi API calls from the frontend.

We configure Strapi webhooks to trigger on content publish/update events. The webhook hits a Next.js revalidation endpoint that invalidates the affected ISR pages - so the frontend updates within seconds of a content change without a full rebuild.

Strapi is an excellent self-hosted alternative to Contentful. You trade Contentful's managed infrastructure for no per-content-item pricing, full data ownership, and complete customizability. For teams with DevOps capacity, Strapi often delivers better value at scale.

A Strapi setup - content types, permissions, frontend integration - is the content module in our estimate at 70-140 hours, which is why we rarely sell it on its own. A full headless platform with custom plugins, localisation and editorial workflows takes 6-10 weeks. This site runs on Strapi, so the answers here come from operating it, not from reading about it.
