Contentful Headless CMS

Contentful is a cloud-native headless content management system founded by Sascha Konietzke and Paolo Negri in 2013, headquartered in Berlin, Germany, providing an API-first content infrastructure that separates content creation from content presentation, enabling teams to manage, integrate, and deliver content across any channel including websites, mobile applications, voice assistants, and digital signage, adopted by over thirty percent of Fortune five hundred companies including Spotify, British Airways, Jack in the Box, Shiseido, and Equinox. The content infrastructure approach provides a content delivery API for reading published content with a global content delivery network achieving sub-fifty millisecond response times, a content management API for creating and editing content programmatically, a content preview API for staging and draft content, and GraphQL support for flexible content queries, with all APIs returning JSON responses that frontend applications consume through SDKs for JavaScript, iOS, Android, PHP, Ruby, Python, and Java. The content model editor enables creating custom content types called content types with fields including short text, long text, rich text, numbers, date and time, media references, cross-content-type references, arrays, and JSON objects, with validation rules, appearance customization, and localization support for managing multilingual content across unlimited locales. The web app provides a collaborative editing environment with rich text editing, media library management, role-based access control with granular permissions, content workflows with customizable stages, scheduled publishing, and version history with diff comparison. The app framework enables custom extensions and sidebar widgets. Designed for enterprise content teams.
