What is Iridium?
Iridium is a headless CMS that fully atomizes your data.
The atomization of data refers to breaking down data into its smallest meaningful parts or atoms, which can then be used as reusable components across various applications or systems. This approach is commonly associated with the concept of atomic design in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, where UI components are broken down into their smallest elements for easier management, scalability, and reuse.
What is headless?
A headless CMS is a content management system that provides a way to author, manage, and deliver content via an API, without the need for a traditional website front-end. This allows content creators and developers to work independently on the content and presentation layers of a website or application, enabling greater flexibility, scalability, and customization.
Headless has become more important as the web has become larger, more complex and the bar for user experience has become higher. Headless CMSs allow for more flexibility, better performance, and easier integration with other services and platforms.
Why Iridium?
True componentization of data is a core concept from the inception of the CMS. Iridium provides the basic building blocks to structure your data, allowing you to create a truly modular and flexible content structure.
Iridium provides
- A flexible and powerful schema system that allows you to define your data structures with as much depth and complexity as you need.
- A RESTful API that allows you to interact with your data programmatically, making it easy to integrate with other services and platforms.
- Webhooks and event triggers that allow you to automate workflows and respond to changes in your data.
- End-to-end TypeScript support that provides type safety and code completion for your data structures.
- A pluggable data lake that allows you to store your data wherever you want, whether it's in a database, a cloud storage service, or a custom solution.
