Outstatic is a static CMS designed for Next.js applications, offering a headless CMS experience with a focus on developer experience and performance. It allows content creators to manage content through a clean UI while developers leverage Next.js's static generation capabilities for fast, scalable websites.

How It Works

Outstatic operates as a Git-based CMS, storing content directly in your project's repository. It leverages Next.js's Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) and Server-Side Rendering (SSR) capabilities to fetch and display content. This approach avoids the need for a separate database, simplifying deployment and infrastructure management.
