Falling in love with Directus is inevitable. It revolutionized our data schema design and maintenance workflow, enabling us to deliver features earlier while ensuring a robust and extensible data schema. 

Dr. Michael Schäfers
Sr. Data Engineer

Directus has revolutionized our workflow compared to the outdated practice of exchanging Excel sheets via email. This platform significantly reduces manual workload while notably enhancing data quality by maintaining a single source of truth.

Heston Liebowitz
Sr. Director of Engineering

Directus is the foundation of Weber's smart grilling app, enabling seamless user experiences for nearly 6 million app sessions since its launch. It has consistently delivered exceptional performance with low latency and zero downtime. Its adaptability has allowed us to quickly introduce new app features with minimal backend engineering effort.

Excellent CMS, user-friendly and it is very easy to manage data with the API. So far I have 4 projects in production that are related to Directus and I want to praise the team behind the whole story. As a very important thing, I can single out flows and transparency admin dashboard.
Antoine Veliz
VP, Design

Tripadvisor is using Directus to bring our products, data and content closer together. This will allow our users to plan and experience travel in new and innovative ways.

I discovered Directus few years ago when it was written in PHP. Since then, I use it for nearly all the websites I do. It has all the features that me and my clients want to manage their content, a beautiful and easy-to-use interface without non-wanted things. I use it with tools like Astro, Nuxt and other SSR/SSG engines and it's amazing. Thank you for your awesome work.
