Hygraph is a headless CMS (Content Management System) designed for both developers and content teams. It enables you to manage and deliver content across multiple channels using a GraphQL-native architecture, supporting complex content models, integrations, and scalable digital experiences. Learn more.
A headless CMS like Hygraph separates content management from content presentation. You create and manage content in Hygraph, then deliver it to any frontend or digital channel via API (typically GraphQL). This allows for omnichannel delivery and flexibility in frontend technology. Learn more.
Hygraph is designed for developers, IT decision-makers, content creators, project/program managers, agencies, solution partners, and technology partners. It is especially beneficial for modern software companies, enterprises looking to modernize, and brands aiming to scale across geographies or re-platform from traditional solutions.

Easily bring your ideas to life using our pre-built projects and schema templates. Whether you're creating a website, an app, or something entirely unique, we have the resources you need to make it happen.
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.
Sigurður G.
Chief Technology Officer
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.

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.
