What is payloadcms/payload?
Payload is an open-source, TypeScript-based backend framework built on Next.js that provides a full-featured admin panel and CMS out of the box. Developers use it to quickly set up a headless CMS or backend API without building authentication, database management, and admin interfaces from scratch. It supports MongoDB and PostgreSQL databases, includes GraphQL and REST APIs, and can be deployed as a standalone service or integrated directly into Next.js applications.
