Directus VS Contentful
Directus CMS
Any kind of SQL database may be converted into an API with the help of the Directus Open Data Platform, which is part of the headless CMS.
Using its REST API or GraphQL, Directus, a NodeJS Headless CMS, connects your website or apps to a SQL database.
It is made up of a web app for managing content and an API that enables developers to link that data to a variety of clients, including websites, native applications, kiosks, IoT devices, and other projects that are data-driven.
Contentful
One of the most popular and simple Headless CMS. It runs as a web service, so you have only to register an account to create a project. Contentful is very easy to use, stable and has a free version. In addition, there are lots of plugins and a package for working with this CMS.
But there are some shortcomings. First of all, it's a limitation of entities (models) and fields in the model. Also, like many Headless CMS services, the size of uploaded files is limited.
Despite the great popularity of Contentful, it could be a challenge to create even a small project due to limitations. Therefore, we recommend using it only for very simple projects.
