Contentstack is a 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.[1] Contentstack enables users to manage any kind of digital content across a multitude of channels, including web sites, mobile apps, email marketing, chatbots, in-seat & in-store displays, AR/VR, and jumbotrons.
Based on the agile software development methodologies,[2] Contentstack delivers content via APIs and is supported by a 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.[3]
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 (CDN).[4]
In December 2017, the platform announced another revamp, redesigning its architecture and adding new SDKs, an image delivery API, and real time entry presence.[5][6]
Headless CMS
A Headless CMS is a 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.[7]
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.[8]
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.[9] 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 devices, smartwatches, among others.
Features
Contentstack is an API-first tool that manages files in the cloud and is built around a multi-tenant cloud model that enables a secure information encryption and significantly less downtime than a regular CMS.[10] A headless CMS allows developers to use any front-end tool to present digital content in ways that are not possible with a conventional CMS.[11]
Contentstack is built upon a microservices architecture to improve performance and reduce the risk of feature and system bloating and provides JSON data in a cloud of RESTful APIs and SDKs for iOS, Android, Ruby, PHP, Java, React Native, and Node.js.[12]
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.
