Demand Stack

I wanted to use an open-source CMS for this project so that ruled out a lot of options (Contentful, Sanity, Prismic etc...). The only other open-source option I found worth considering was Payload CMS. Since this was my first headless CMS project, I chose Strapi over Payload CMS. Payload CMS is very powerful and flexible but may be TOO flexible and abstracted for my first crack at this. Strapi also seems to have a lot of momentum which is important for open-source projects.

I've been happy with Strapi so far and it's been able to do what I needed. I may try Payload CMS on a future project now that I have some experience.
