Overview

What is Directus?

Directus is a collaborative back-end and "headless" CMS that can be self-hosted and connects to any SQL database. Rather than imposing its own schema, Directus overlays an existing database and transforms it into a complete back-end, with an API and workspace for teams.

The platform instantly generates REST and GraphQL APIs from the database schema and offers a no-code Studio: a visual admin interface for editing content and managing data. It includes a digital asset manager with on-the-fly file transformation, a fine-grained permissions system at the field level, real-time updates via WebSocket, and a visual automation engine (the Flows) to orchestrate multi-step processes.

Directus is designed for content teams and developers who want to work autonomously on shared data without relying on a proprietary service. Ideal for managing the content of a website, mobile app, or digital product, it keeps your data in your own database, under your control.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

What is a headless CMS like Directus?

A headless CMS separates content management from its display: Directus provides the administration and an API (REST/GraphQL), and you deliver the content wherever you want (website, mobile app, screens, e-commerce). It is ideal for an omnichannel strategy.

Does Directus use a real SQL database?

Yes. Directus sits on a standard PostgreSQL or MySQL database: your data remains in an open and readable SQL schema, without proprietary formats. You can also access it directly for BI or migration.

Where is the data hosted?

On DINAO's infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Content, media, and the database do not leave the territory and remain subject to French and European law.

Are technical skills required?

Business teams manage content via a no-code interface, without coding. Developers consume the instant API for integrations. DINAO manages hosting, updates, the database, and security.

How do backups and restoration work?

DINAO daily backs up the database and media in an encrypted manner, with a retention period of X days. Restoration is performed upon simple request to support.
