Crafter Community is the free, open-source, and community-supported edition of CrafterCMS, a Java-based headless CMS designed for enterprise-grade websites and other content-driven digital experiences. It is built for organizations that require a high degree of performance, security, availability, and scalability. This API-first, decoupled CMS supports unique DevContentOps processes, accelerating productivity for developers, content authors, and operations teams. It enables seamless collaboration to deliver modern sites and applications faster. The content authoring system offers a user-friendly experience built on Git, providing sophisticated versioning and advanced CMS features. The separate, decoupled content delivery system is a high-performance, stateless, and serverless Spring app that scales globally without external database complexities. Crafter Community empowers developers with a platform-agnostic interface supporting REST, GraphQL, Javascript, Spring, and Java for content retrieval. Content authors benefit from web-based tools with in-context editing, drag-and-drop experience building, multi-channel preview, personalization, and content targeting. Operations teams can manage a small footprint and scale effortlessly with serverless content delivery, continuous integration, and deployment capabilities across public clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) or private infrastructure using Docker and Kubernetes.
