Workflow

How it works

  1. Define

    Design your content schemas and fields visually without database management.

  2. Secure

    Create API keys and specify read/write permissions for endpoints.

  3. Populate

    Let editors write, translate, and upload media in the workspace.

  4. Deliver

    Fetch clean JSON content globally via fast REST endpoints with instant cache validation.

Architecture

Reliability & architecture benefits

Mincemeat Headless CMS guarantees complete security isolation and seamless integration with static delivery pipelines.

Data isolation

Each CMS project runs in an isolated, private database to guarantee data privacy.

Visual modelling

Update schemas and relationships on the fly without database migration scripts.

Self-documenting APIs

Developers can use automatically generated API documentation to integrate in minutes.

Instant edge caching

Content is cached globally at the edge and purged on-demand for instant freshness.

Webhooks & build triggers

Trigger automated static site rebuilds or deploy hooks when content is updated.

Media optimization

High-speed edge image conversion ensures optimized media delivery to mobile screens.

Granular permissions

Restrict access by schema, query type, or token scope for complete API security.
