KeystoneJS
Headless CMS and backend framework for Node.js built on a programmable GraphQL API.
KeystoneJS is an open-source backend framework and content management system for developers. It lets you define a data schema in code, then generates a GraphQL API and an admin interface for managing content and data. It addresses the need to build a custom backend without extensive boilerplate, while retaining control over business logic, data models, and deployment.
The platform includes automated CRUD operations, a configurable GraphQL API, session management, and fine-grained access control with custom roles. It supports TypeScript, relational data models, powerful filtering, event hooks for custom logic, and database migrations via Prisma. The admin UI includes a structured rich-text editor that can accept custom React components. Keystone is designed to work with any frontend framework and can be deployed to managed services or custom infrastructure.
KeystoneJS is aimed at developers and teams building apps, websites, and multichannel content experiences. It is open source and free to use, with no lock-in. The pages describe enterprise support options from the team that built the product, though specific packaging details are not provided.
