Directus is a game changer in the world of content management systems (CMS). It offers a unique solution to businesses and developers who need a flexible and customizable way to manage their content.

My Experience so far 😎

I had the pleasure of working with this product for around three months now, and I can confidently say that it is a time saver and an awesome tool for full stack projects.

During my contribution to the project, I sent around 10 pull requests, out of which six were merged and are now running in production. I spent around two months contributing to this project, and it was an excellent learning experience.

I first came to know about Directus while working on an insurance project. The project involved creating 4–5 page forms to collect user data. Since it was a small system, our team decided to go with Directus. Within a few days, we had a backend system powered by Directus. The user data was getting stored, retrieved, updated, created, and deleted seamlessly, and the best part was that we achieved all this without writing a single line of code.
