Next.js CMS

The Best CMS for Next.js

Sanity is the headless CMS Next.js developers reach for — and the Content Operating System teams scale with. Flexible content modeling, real-time APIs, and built-in AI automation, all in one structured backend.

  • Data where you need it

    Sanity pairs perfectly with Next.js data fetching and rendering patterns. SSG, SSR, ISR, RSC — it’s all possible. Plus, we have the docs and examples you need to get it done.

  • Data how you want it

    Use Sanity’s powerful query APIs to filter, sort, and shape your data on the server. Give your frontend exactly the data it needs! Real-time, build time, or piped directly into your AI workflows.

  • Live preview

    No more waiting for slow builds. Setup previews for your Next.js site directly inside of Sanity so you can catch that typo before hitting publish.

Why Next.js Developers choose Sanity

The benefits of a Next.js CMS

Why you should consider Sanity for your project.

Next.js has become the React world's leading framework in large part because its developer experience is so ergonomic.

With Next.js 13 and the addition of React Server Components and the app router, Next.js is the easiest way to develop fully featured, full-stack applications in the world today.

To really feel the impact of the increased speed and productivity of your frontend framework on your business, however, you need a back end with a similarly ergonomic design.

That's why a high-powered React content platform like Sanity is such a force multiplier for your content site. No bottlenecks across your entire stack–just creating, publishing, and iterating.

  1. Develop and ship faster. When you can write server code alongside your frontend's components, your team can iterate faster. Make a change to your app and update the content to reflect the change in a few short clicks.
  2. Hire better. When your content platform and your front end framework are written with the same React.js library, all you need are a few good devs to iterate effectively across your entire stack.
  3. Big, helpful communities. Take advantage of using the most popular framework by relying on large, supportive communities to create and maintain plugins, starters, and plentiful tutorials. The Sanity community is a welcoming place for developers of all backgrounds and experience levels.

  • After testing Strapi and Prismic, I made the choice to focus on Sanity. Their documentation was simple enough to ensure a quick start, the existing React or NextJS libraries made my job a lot easier.
