ButterCMS
Hosted headless content management system with a content API, a dashboard for editors and client libraries for several languages.
ButterCMS is a hosted headless content management system. Editors work in a dashboard, and content is delivered through a REST API whose endpoints the API documentation describes. The features page describes a live preview of changes before they go live, roles, locale permissions and multi-site management.
ButterCMS runs as a managed service on Heroku and AWS, per its pricing page. The GitHub organization publishes API clients for several languages; none of them is the service itself.
Worth knowing
Single sign-on is listed as an available add-on on the pricing page. The pricing page also says a free start is possible with paid upgrades.
