ButterCMS
Hosted headless content management system for pages, collections and blog posts, delivered to websites and apps through a REST API.
ButterCMS is a hosted headless content management system. Editors use its dashboard to create pages, reusable collections of content and blog posts, and sites and apps fetch them over a REST API. ButterCMS LLC runs the service on Heroku and AWS infrastructure behind a CDN.
Starter projects and quickstart guides are published in the developer hub, and the docs describe migrating content from Contentful and WordPress.
Worth knowing
Free and Trial accounts receive a 429 response once they pass their monthly API call limit. Single sign-on over SAML is an Enterprise add-on, and the write API and webhooks are add-ons on the paid tiers.
