Contentstack is an enterprise-grade headless CMS built on an API-first

architecture. Content is organized in stacks, modeled with content types

and global fields, then delivered through REST and GraphQL APIs. The

platform extends beyond CMS with built-in personalization, automation

workflows, a visual builder, and front-end hosting via Launch.

Key Highlights

- REST Content Delivery and Management APIs plus GraphQL

- Customizable editorial workflows with conditional approval rules

- Visual Builder for WYSIWYG page composition with live preview

Why It Fits Jamstack Workflows

- Content Delivery API and GraphQL endpoint serve published entries from environment-specific tokens, enabling static generation or edge rendering with any framework

- Webhooks and the Automate module trigger builds and connect to external services on content publish, workflow step changes, and other stack events

Typical Implementations

- Multi-brand enterprise websites

- E-commerce product experiences

- Multi-language marketing portals

- Customer-facing knowledge bases and portals

Setup Snapshot

Hosting: "Cloud-hosted SaaS with regional data center options"

Content: "Content types, global fields, and taxonomy defined per stack"

Delivery: "REST and GraphQL Delivery APIs with environment-scoped tokens and webhooks"

Notes

- GraphQL is available for content delivery only; content management operations require the REST Management API

- Stacks use separate delivery tokens and preview tokens — preview tokens grant access to both draft and published entries
