About Z-CMS

Z-CMS is an open-source content management platform built by Z-SOFT and released under the MIT License. It is for teams who want the editing experience of a traditional CMS without giving up a modern stack — or their independence.

Why another CMS

Most content platforms make you choose. Either you get a friendly admin and an ecosystem of themes and plugins, but the architecture underneath is twenty years old; or you get a clean headless API on a modern stack, but every content change now goes through a developer.

Z-CMS refuses the choice. Editors get a block-based page builder, a marketplace, and a theme they can configure without touching code. Developers get TypeScript from top to bottom, a signed package system, a sandboxed plugin runtime, and an API they can build anything on.

The architecture

Next.js renders the public site and the admin. NestJS serves the API. PostgreSQL stores the content, with row-level isolation between tenants. Redis carries the cache and the job queue. Themes and plugins are signed packages the runtime verifies before it will load them.

Open, and staying open

Development happens in the open on GitHub: the roadmap, the issues, the discussions and every line of code. Contributions are welcome — and so is a fork.
