Sanity

What is Sanity?

Sanity is an open-source backend platform designed to manage content for modern applications. It serves as a headless CMS that enables developers to build and scale web, mobile, and agentic applications by separating content management from presentation layers. The platform is built specifically for AI-driven content operations, allowing teams to structure, store, and deliver content efficiently across multiple channels. Sanity provides developers with tools to define custom content schemas, query data through APIs, and integrate content workflows into their applications without being locked into predefined templates or frontend frameworks. Sanity is suited for development teams, content operations managers, and organizations that need flexible content infrastructure. It works well for companies building multiple digital products that share content, those implementing AI-powered features, and teams requiring customizable content models that evolve with their business needs. Key characteristics include a customizable content schema system, real-time collaboration features, and a portable JSON-based data structure. The platform's open-source nature allows teams to self-host or use Sanity's managed infrastructure, providing flexibility in deployment options and cost management. The tool integrates with popular frameworks and services, making it adaptable to existing development stacks and workflows.
