sensenet

Content services platform that stores content in a repository with an API-first approach, a permission system and preview tools, written in .NET.

sensenet is a content services platform written in .NET: a content repository with an API-first approach, a permission system, and preview and collaboration tools. The docs call it headless, with a built-in generic admin UI that connects to a repository by its URL. Content is reached through REST APIs, and the deployment demos store data in a SQL Server database.

The deployment readme starts the services as local Docker Compose demos and does not describe a production install.

Worth knowing

The core services are available under GPL-2.0, and the licensing page says the open-source version comes without support services. The company also sells an enterprise license with added guarantees and legal protection, OEM terms, and a hosted option called SNaaS, where the repositories run in its cloud.
