KeystoneJS

KeystoneJS is a headless CMS and backend framework for Node.js where you describe your content and data as a schema, and it generates a GraphQL API and a management UI around it. There is no boilerplate to wire up: the schema is the source of truth, and the API and admin experience stay in sync with it.

Fields, relationships, and access control are defined in code, so a custom back end behaves like a bespoke one without writing the plumbing by hand. The stack is built on GraphQL and React, and Keystone 6 ships as packages under the @keystone-6/* namespace on npm.

Keystone runs on the Node Maintenance and Active LTS releases and follows semantic versioning. It is self-hosted, so the API and database run on your own infrastructure. The project is licensed under MIT and maintained by Thinkmill Labs.
