## Notes

Squidex is an open source headless CMS and content management hub. It stores content in a database and serves it through REST and GraphQL APIs, and it includes an admin interface. The project says it is built with ASP.NET Core and CQRS. Each project can define any number of languages, and publishing workflows can restrict stage transitions to user groups.

Squidex supports MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQL Server as its database. The Docker install page describes a Compose setup with Squidex as one of its containers, so the site runs as a long-running server process. Other install routes are the OS binaries and Helm charts for Kubernetes.

## Worth knowing

Squidex is also offered as a SaaS version at cloud.squidex.io, next to the open source software.
