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
