'''Contentstack''' is a [[Headless CMS|headless content management system]] created by Built.io which provides developers, web designers, and content managers with the tools to create and manage digital content.

The platform offers the content component of a CMS, focusing on the storage and publishing of content and facilitating content workflows, organization, and collaboration.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/713324818|title=Moving media storage technologies : applications & workflows for video and media server platforms|last=1952-|first=Paulsen, Karl,|date=2011|publisher=Focal Press|isbn=9780240814483|location=Burlington, MA|oclc=713324818}}</ref> Contentstack enables users to manage any kind of digital content across a multitude of channels, including web sites, mobile apps, [[email marketing]], [[Chatbot|chatbots]], in-seat & in-store displays, [[Augmented reality|AR]]/[[Virtual reality|VR]], and [[Jumbotron|jumbotrons]].

Based on the [[Agile software development|agile software development methodologies]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last=|first=|date=|title=Agile Programming: as a CMS development Methodology|url=http://www.iiste.org/Journals/index.php/ISDE/article/viewFile/3975/4032|journal=Innovative Systems Design and Engineering|volume=4|pages=13-16|via=www.iieste.org}}</ref> Contentstack delivers content via [[Application programming interface|APIs]] and is supported by a [[Microservices|microservices-based]], extensible architecture that allows third-party functionality such as analytics, translation, personalization and artificial intelligence engines to integrate with the core CMS.

== History ==
Contentstack was developed in 2014 by Built.io as the company’s API-first CMS, making it available for both the enterprise and consumer sectors and adding new features and functions.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://appdevelopermagazine.com/1650/2014/7/16/raw-engineering-releases-the-contentstack.io-mobile-first-enterprise-content-management-system-/|title=raw engineering Releases the contentstack.io Mobile first Enterprise Content Management System|last=Parkerson|first=Stuart|date=July 16, 2014|work=App Developer Magazine|access-date=}}</ref>

In November 2016, Contentstack announced a redesigned architecture and group of new features, including optimization of the underlying database and integration with a [[Content delivery network|Content Delivery Network]] (CDN).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/10/built-io-wants-to-challenge-drupal-and-wordpress-with-its-headless-cms/|title=Built.io wants to challenge Drupal and WordPress with its headless CMS – TechCrunch|website=techcrunch.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-06-06}}</ref>

In December 2017, the platform announced another revamp, redesigning its architecture and adding new SDKs, an image delivery API, and real time entry presence.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/built-io-reports-skyrocketing-growth-with-new-customers-partnerships-and-awards-for-its-api-first-content-management-system-contentstack-1006594461|title=Built.io Reports Skyrocketing Growth With New Customers, Partnerships and Awards For Its API-First Content Management System Contentstack {{!}} Markets Insider|last=GmbH|first=finanzen.net|work=markets.businessinsider.com|access-date=2018-06-06}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://diginomica.com/2018/02/06/builtio-contentstack-headless-cms-experience/|title=Built.io and Contentstack bring on the headless CMS experience|date=2018-02-06|work=diginomica|access-date=2018-06-06|language=en-US}}</ref>

== Headless CMS ==
{{Main|Headless CMS}}
A Headless CMS is a [[Back-end database|back-end]] only [[content management system]] (CMS) built from the ground up as a content repository that makes content accessible via a [[RESTful API]] for display on any device.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cmscritic.com/cloud-first-headless-cms-what-it-is-and-why-you-should-use-it/|title=Cloud-First Headless CMS: What It Is and Why You Should Use It - CMS Critic|date=2017-02-07|work=CMS Critic|access-date=2018-06-06|language=en-US}}</ref>

There is some confusion around what makes a headless CMS truly “headless”, as vendors use the term somewhat loosely to label their decoupled or hybrid CMS systems. But a true headless CMS is one that was built from the ground up to be API-first, not a full monolith CMS with APIs attached afterward.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/663096792|title=Architecture and methods for flexible content management in peer-to-peer systems|last=Udo.|first=Bartlang,|date=2010|publisher=Vieweg+Teubner Verlag|isbn=9783834896452|location=Wiesbaden|oclc=663096792}}</ref>

The term “headless” comes from the concept of chopping the “head” (the front end, i.e. the website) off of the “body” (the back end, i.e. the content repository).

The headless CMS concept is one born of the demands of the digital era and a business’s need to focus on engaging customers with personalized content via multiple channels at all stages of the customer journey.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Ultimate Guide to Headless CMS: Everything you need to know to choose the right CMS.|last=Pallas|first=Petr|publisher=Amazon Digital Services|year=2017|isbn=B0785PKY1C|location=|pages=3}}</ref> As the content in a headless CMS is considered “pure," because it has no presentation layer attached, just one instance of it can be used for display on any device: website, mobile, tablet, [[Internet of things|Internet of Things]] devices, smartwatches, among others.

== Features ==
Contentstack is an API-first tool that manages files in the [[Cloud computing|cloud]] and is built around a [[Multitenancy|multi-tenant cloud model]] that enables a secure information encryption and significantly less downtime than a regular CMS.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2017/11/22/the-benefits-of-a-headless-cms/#68a8f7f52d85|title=The Benefits Of A Headless CMS|last=Winter|first=John|work=Forbes|access-date=2018-06-06|language=en}}</ref> A headless CMS allows developers to use any [[Front-end web development|front-end]] tool to present digital content in ways that are not possible with a conventional CMS.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://gadgetopia.com/post/9926|title=The State of the Headless CMS Market|last=Barker|first=Deane|work=Gadgetopia|access-date=2018-06-06|language=en-us}}</ref>

Contentstack is built upon a [[Microservices|microservices architecture]] to improve performance and reduce the risk of feature and [[Software bloat|system bloating]] and provides [[JSON]] data in a cloud of RESTful APIs and [[Software development kit|SDKs]] for [[iOS]], [[Android software development|Android]], [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], [[PHP]], [[Java (programming language)|Java,]] [[React (JavaScript library)|React Native]], and [[Node.js]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.cmswire.com/web-cms/cms-review-contentstack/|title=CMS Review: Contentstack|work=CMSWire.com|access-date=2018-06-06|language=en-us}}</ref>

Contentstack headless technology allows developers to create adaptive platforms that enables quick change of the content and structure of both websites and mobile apps. The platform is also capable of pulling real-time data sources and respond to their input or contextual cues, which enables follow-up offers to customers based on location and purchase data.
