Payload is the first-ever Next.js native CMS that can install directly in your existing /app folder. It's the start of a new era for headless CMS.

Benefits over a regular CMS

  • It's both an app framework & headless CMS
  • Deploy anywhere, including serverless on Vercel for free
  • Combine your front+backend in the same /app folder if you want
  • Don't sign up for yet another SaaS - Payload is open source
  • Query your database in React Server Components
  • Both admin and backend are 100% extensible
  • No vendor lock-in
  • Never touch ancient WP code again
  • Build faster, never hit a roadblock
