Why 120.000 users choose Hygraph as their headless CMS
Very nice CMS for localization and large scale
Their webhook implementation is good, we use it to notify backend systems about content being updated, but we can opt out of receiving notifications when our automated systems performs the update.
The user interface is intuitive enough that normal people can use it. The custom app integration is pretty nice. It allows us to do our own content quality checks and give instant feedback to the editor.

Easy-to-Use, Feature Rich CMS platform with Amazing Support
As a developer, I found myself quickly being able to implement an integration with this CMS.
The API playground was such a big help in this because I had no previous GraphQL experience. Also, the customer support is amazing, they reply fast and always find a workaround for your specific use case.

An excellent tool for rapid prototyping and production workloads
The UI makes it accessible to team members who are not deeply technical, and the code and endpoints make a powerful tool for developers to build against.
Relationship building between several object types is very straightfoward and all mistakes can be rolled back.
