Burdy

Burdy is a self-hosted headless CMS written in TypeScript. The README lists Node.js, Express and TypeORM for the backend and React with Fluent UI for the admin, which is served at a path of the same app. Content is stored in a database, and the README names SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB as supported. A scaffolder, npx create-burdy-app, creates a project; the README gives npm run dev for development and npm run build followed by npm run start for production. Users are managed with groups and permissions, one installation can manage several sites, and a Preview Editor shows content updates on the live website from inside the admin.

Worth knowing

The project’s website says the company is rebranding and will release new enterprise tools, and it still offers the headless CMS for use. The documentation pages the README links return 404, so the README is the only documentation this record reads. The scaffolder is a separate npm package from the core package, burdy.
