AI-programmable CMS for enterprises hosting on AWS

About Webiny

Open-source content platform. Self-hosted on AWS serverless. Built as a TypeScript framework you extend with code, not a closed product you configure through a UI.

Runs on Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, and CloudFront inside your own AWS account. Scales automatically. No servers to manage. Infrastructure provisioned via IaC (Pulumi) in a single deploy command.

Used in production by teams managing hundreds of millions of content records, petabytes of assets, and thousands of editors — including Amazon, Emirates, Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and SaaS platforms that white-label Webiny inside their own products.

What's Inside

Headless CMS — Custom content models, GraphQL API, field-level permissions, localization, versioning. Models can be defined through the admin UI or in code via the framework.

Website Builder — Visual drag-and-drop page editor with a Next.js SDK. Render pages through your own frontend (Vercel, CloudFront, wherever). Create custom page elements with React components.

File Manager — Digital asset management with CDN delivery, folder structure, tagging, search. Integrated into CMS and Website Builder.

Publishing Workflows — Multi-step content approval with draft states, reviewer assignments, scheduled publishing, and audit trails.

Multi-Tenancy — Native tenant isolation (data, users, assets, permissions) from a single deployment. One instance can host thousands of tenants. Tenants are created and managed programmatically via GraphQL API. Supports hierarchical tenant structures (Root → Brand → Market, Root → Client → Site, etc.).

Webiny Framework — TypeScript framework with lifecycle hooks, dependency injection, GraphQL schema extensions, admin UI extension points, and infrastructure extensions. This is the core — it's what makes Webiny programmable rather than just configurable.
