2 viewsAdded Nov 10, 2026
Directus connects to a new or existing SQL database such as PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite and generates REST and GraphQL APIs from its schema. Roles and permissions, file storage, automation flows and real-time updates are built in.
Its Data Studio, the admin app used to model data and edit content, is a Vue 3 application. Custom interfaces, displays, panels and modules are written as Vue components with the extensions SDK.
Self-host it with Docker or Node.js, or use the hosted cloud. The source is on GitHub under the Business Source License, which allows free use for smaller organizations.
