Velocity is a headless content management system as a service.
Create, manage, and deliver content through a powerful API and CLI. No servers to manage. No infrastructure to maintain.
A fully managed headless CMS with the tools developers actually want.
Clean, intuitive endpoints for all your content operations. Create, read, update, delete, and query content from any language or framework.
Manage content from the terminal like you manage code. Push, pull, publish, and rollback with simple commands. Works like git.
Draft, review, and publish. Move content through approval workflows with built-in states for draft, pending, and live.
Every change is tracked automatically. Compare versions, view diffs, and roll back to any previous state with a single command.
Isolate content by tenant out of the box. Perfect for SaaS apps, agencies, and platforms serving multiple clients or brands.
Get notified when content changes. Subscribe to create, update, delete, and publish events to trigger your pipelines.
Leave comments on draft and pending content. Collaborate with your team directly in the content workflow before publishing.
JSON documents, images, PDFs, videos, CSS, HTML. Store and deliver any file type with automatic content-type detection.
Define content types with JSON schemas. Global schemas or per-tenant overrides give you full control over content structure.
No servers to provision. No databases to configure. Just content.
