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.
Payload is a CMS that is totally focused on providing engineers with the greatest developer experience possible so they can design admin UI and APIs.
For your JavaScript application, Payload CMS is a content authoring tool. For user authentication, file uploads, internationalization, input validation, access control, programmatic hooks, and admin panel, Payload offers a turnkey solution.
Payload is made specifically to save developers time and effort when developing the backend and admin panel for websites, native applications, e-commerce, SaaS, and any other product that needs to handle the content.
