TakeShape is a Content Management-as-a-Service cloud platform with an integrated Static Content Generator that prioritizes GraphQL APIs and eliminates the expense and difficulty of creating and maintaining a cloud-scale content experience.
Basically, TakeShape is not your typical headless CMS. It is an API mesh solution that enables you to set up a hosted GraphQL API that unites all of your services and data into a single endpoint along with your content.
The headless Content as a Service (CaaS) platform DatoCMS was built to operate with static websites, mobile apps, and any type of server-side application. It enables team members and non-technical users to manage their content operations.
DatoCMS is a user-friendly, safe, and potent platform that allows marketing, editorial, or development teams to quickly construct sophisticated backends and distribute any type of content.
