QBurst

QBurst is a digital engineering company that crafts delightful client experiences through AI-driven software engineering and data solutions.

Builder.io is a SaaS headless CMS that combines a visual editor with API-based content delivery, so teams can ship and iterate on web experiences without rebuilding backend tooling.

Where it fits

It’s commonly used for marketing pages, eCommerce experiences, and product-led growth surfaces where technical managers want faster publishing while keeping engineering control over components and integrations.

  • Visual editor that assembles pages from developer-registered components
  • Content API for querying published entries with filtering parameters
  • GraphQL API option for structured content queries
  • Webhooks to trigger downstream workflows on content changes
  • Preview and targeting support for controlled releases

Choose Builder.io when you need API-first delivery and a solid developer experience; constraint: it’s primarily a hosted service, so self-hosting isn’t the default model.
