Payload CMS is an open-source, code-first headless content management system built on Node.js and TypeScript, designed to give developers full control over data models, APIs, and admin interfaces. Web developers use it to build custom back ends for websites and applications, combining the flexibility of a headless CMS with a built-in admin panel and native TypeScript support. It is often chosen as an alternative to traditional CMS platforms for projects needing greater developer customization.
