Payload is the first-ever Next.js native CMS that can install directly in your existing `/app` folder. It's the start of a new era for headless CMS.

Benefits over a regular CMS

It's both an app framework & headless CMS

Deploy anywhere, including serverless on Vercel for free

Combine your front+backend in the same /app folder if you want

Don't sign up for yet another SaaS - Payload is open source

Query your database in React Server Components

Both admin and backend are 100% extensible

No vendor lock-in

Never touch ancient WP code again

Build faster, never hit a roadblock
