NodeHive Core
NodeHive Core is a full-stack headless CMS built on Drupal, designed to compete with platforms like Contentful and Sanity. It provides content editors with a polished interface and offers advanced APIs and authentication, along with a JavaScript SDK for seamless integration with modern frontend frameworks such as Next.js and Astro. This solution allows for content sharing across multiple frontends and provides robust access control through its "content spaces" feature.
NodeHive Core is a Drupal based full stack headless solution maintained by NETNODE AG. It offers everything you would expect from a headless CMS solution including a polished editorial interface, multi space/frontend capabilities, advanced apis and auth, a javascript sdk and much more.
NodeHive brings Drupal to the modern web. It perfectly to integrates with Next.JS, Astro, Nuxt.js and other popular frontend frameworks.
NodeHive is built to directly compete with Contentful, Sanity, Storyblok and other headless systems. We believe that NodeHive wins due to being fully open source and the leverage of the Drupal ecosystem.
Besides the open source verison, NodeHive offers a hosted/cloud SaaS offering via www.nodehive.com.
