What is Directus?
Directus is an Open Data Platform for managing the content of any SQL database. It provides an API layer (REST & GraphQL) for developers and a no-code App for non-technical users.
Written entirely in JavaScript, Directus is open-source, modular, and extensible, allowing it to be fully tailored to a project's needs.
Directus dynamically generates custom API endpoints based on an SQL database's schema in real-time — something the vendor states they call "Database Mirroring". Whether installing fresh or on top of an existing database, the user can avoid vendor lock-in by always maintaining end-to-end control over actual database (tables, columns, datatypes, defaults, indexes, relationships, etc).
Directus is available free and open-source.
Directus dynamically generates custom API endpoints based on an SQL database's schema in real-time — something the vendor states they call "Database Mirroring". Whether installing fresh or on top of an existing database, the user can avoid vendor lock-in by always maintaining end-to-end control over actual database (tables, columns, datatypes, defaults, indexes, relationships, etc).
Directus is presented as a simple solution for complex problems, with a data-first approach guided by the following core principles:
- Pure — There is no predefined model or proprietary rules for schema, and all system settings are stored separately.
- Open — The entire codebase is public and transparent, allowing for end-to-end audits. Nothing is obfuscated or black-boxed.
- Portable — Data is stored in bespoke databases and can be migrated/exported/backed-up at any time. Absolutely no vendor lock-in.
- Limitless — Create unlimited users, roles, languages, collections, and items. No arbitrary restrictions or paywall limitations.
- Extensible — Every aspect of the platform is modular, allowing you to adapt, customize, and infinitely extend the Core engine.
- Unopinionated — Choose your database (all SQL vendors), API (REST or GraphQL), and infra (self-hosted or Cloud).
Directus is available free and open-source.
