Headless CMS and data platform in one
At Thesio, we develop digital platforms in which content, user data and business logic work closely together. For us, Directus is a powerful tool for bringing this together. As an open-source, API-first data platform, it offers us and our customers complete control over the structure, content and accesses of digital solutions.
From the national Education Desk to a globally operating event platform: in several high-profile projects, we rely on Directus as a central hub for data and content management.
Why we use Directus
Directus offers a unique combination of headless CMS and no-code data management. It enables us to:
- Complex data models easy to manage
- Full control over roles and rights to configure
- Work directly with existing databases via a visual interface
Thanks to its modular nature, we seamlessly integrate Directus into our tech stack — whether it serves as a CMS, middleware or data platform.
For developers and teams
A major advantage of Directus is the balance between technical flexibility and ease of use. Developers work with powerful REST and GraphQL APIs, while content teams work intuitively within the visual interface. This is how we connect both worlds without concessions.
In complex projects — such as the Education Desk — this means: one central place for editing, managing and accessing data, with maximum flexibility towards frontends, services and integrations.
Proven in practice
Whether it's real-time updates to an event platform with thousands of users, or managing educational information in a national portal: Directus has proven to be a scalable and reliable foundation in our unique software applications several times.
What else you might want to know about Directus at Thesio?
Directus is modular, open-source, and scalable. It works directly on relational databases, allowing us to quickly set up complex data models without developing custom CMS.
We often use Directus as a central content and data layer. Through the REST of GraphQL API, we unlock data to custom frontends, mobile apps or other services.
Unlike many other CMSs, Directus works directly on your own database and offers a visual interface on top of your data model. This provides unparalleled flexibility and control — for developers and content teams. Ideal for situations where customization and scalability go hand in hand.
Modern proven technology
We know better than anyone which technology is logical to choose in each specific situation. We are happy to share this knowledge of technology and tools.
