Every project needs a backend. Not every project needs to build one from scratch. Directus wraps any SQL database with instant REST and GraphQL APIs plus a beautiful admin interface—all without writing backend code.
Point it at an existing MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite database. Within minutes, you have auto-generated endpoints, a no-code admin panel for content management, and granular field-level permissions. Database introspection means it works with your existing schema, not against it.
Flows enable visual workflow automation—trigger actions when data changes. Extensions add custom modules, interfaces, and displays. Self-host anywhere (Docker makes it trivial) or use Directus Cloud for managed infrastructure.
Open-source under BSL licensing. The community edition is genuinely powerful; paid tiers add enterprise features and support. Find it at directus.io.
