Optimizely CMS is a .NET content management system maintained by Optimizely North America Inc. under a commercial license. Version 13 is installed from Optimizely project templates and NuGet packages, requires .NET 10, and stores its data in Microsoft SQL Server 2022 or Azure SQL. The install guide also requires Opti ID and Optimizely Graph, which Optimizely includes in the CMS 13 license.
The CMS exposes a REST API and manages several sites from one installation. Optimizely also documents a hosted edition, CMS (SaaS), in its own docs.
Worth knowing
Testing and production environments need a commercial license, as the install guide states.
