Overview

Sanity is a powerful headless CMS designed as a 'Content Operating System' that provides an all-code backend for managing and delivering content. It allows developers to define content structures with JavaScript/TypeScript, offering unparalleled flexibility and customization. The platform integrates AI, automations, and various applications to streamline content authoring and rendering across different frontends.

At its core, Sanity features the Content Lake, a real-time, schema-less database optimized for content. This enables developers to query content efficiently and deliver it through a Live CDN, ensuring scalability and speed. The Sanity Studio, a customizable open-source CMS built with React, provides a collaborative editing environment, while tools like Canvas and Agent Actions introduce AI-assisted content creation and intelligent automations, making it a comprehensive solution for modern content operations.
