You can run Strapi on your own server and write content and pages for your site by connecting to Strapi&rsquo;s admin interface.<\/p>\n<p>After that, the front-end part of your application can fetch content from your Strapi instance using an API and display it to your customers and readers.<\/p>\n<p>There are many advantages in separating the front end from the back end. First, it gives you a ton of flexibility when it comes to displaying your content. You can use a popular front-end framework, such as React, Vue and Angular, or develop your own custom front end.<\/p>\n<p>When you want to update the design of your site, you can just switch from one front end to another with Strapi running like usual behind the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, it offers more flexibility when it comes to server architecture. For instance, you could also leverage Strapi to build static websites and distribute them using a content delivery network, such as Cloudflare or AWS CloudFront. You could imagine using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/09\/26\/gatsby-raises-15m-series-a-for-its-modern-web-development-platform\/\">Gatsby<\/a>&nbsp;combined with a CDN to deploy your site on the edge. Most of your traffic will go through your CDN instead of hitting your servers directly.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Strapi can be used to distribute content to different front ends. For instance, you could use a Strapi instance for the content of your website and your mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>Strapi proves that eventually everything becomes an API. Sure, a headless CMS is probably overkill for most projects. But if you&rsquo;re running a large-scale application, Strapi can fit nicely in your architecture. Companies using Strapi include IBM, NASA and Walmart.<\/p>\n<p>Many well-known open-source business angels have also invested in Strapi, such as Augusto Marietti and Marco Palladino from Kong, David Cramer from Sentry, Florian Douetteau from Dataiku, Solomon Hykes from Docker, Guillermo Rauch from Cloudup, Socket.io, Next.js and Zeit.co, and Eli Collins from Cloudera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container__access-control\">\n<div class=\"article__comments\">\n<div class=\"comments__spot-im--locked\">\n<div id=\"comments__spot-im__container\" class=\"comments__spot-im__container\" data-post-id=\"1991421\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\">\n<div data-spot-im-module-default-area=\"pitc\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\" data-post-id=\"1991421\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div data-spot-im-module-default-area=\"spotlight\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\" data-post-id=\"1991421\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div data-spot-im-module-default-area=\"tag-tester\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\" data-post-id=\"1991421\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div data-spot-im-module-default-area=\"multiplex\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\" data-post-id=\"1991421\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div data-spot-im-module-default-area=\"conversation\" data-spot-id=\"sp_It0mQWOO\" data-post-id=\"1991421\">\n<div data-spotim-module=\"conversation\" data-spotim-not-for-self-bootstrapping=\"\" data-post-id=\"1991421\" data-spotim-initialized=\"true\" data-module-element-id=\"99aedd9083d3819850ff0ecf91beeeda\">\n<div id=\"spcv_conversation\">\n<div data-spot-im-direction=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"spcv_conversation-view spcv_light spcv_conversation-module spot-im-conversation-module\" data-spmark=\"conversation conversation-id:sp_It0mQWOO_1991421\" data-spot-im-class=\"conversation-root\" data-tooltips-boundaries=\"true\" data-is-logged-in=\"false\">\n<div class=\"spcv_conversation-header\" data-spot-im-class=\"conversation-header\">\n<div class=\"spcv_info\">\n<div class=\"spcv_left-area\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/10\/15\/headless-cms-company-strapi-raises-4-million\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2019\/10\/15\/headless-cms-company-strapi-raises-4-million\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Romain Dillet<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Romain Dillet<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strapi, the company behind the popular&nbsp;open-source headless CMS&nbsp;also called Strapi, has raised a $10 million Series A round led by Index Ventures.&nbsp;The company previously raised a $4 million seed round&nbsp;led by Accel and Stride.vc in October 2019.
