Sveltia CMS is a Git-based lightweight headless CMS under active development as a modern, powerful, quick replacement for Netlify CMS and Decap CMS. In some simple cases, migration is as easy as a single line of code change, although we are still working on improving compatibility.

The free, open source alternative to Netlify/Decap CMS is now in public beta, turbocharged with great UX, performance, i18n support and so many more enhancements.

Sveltia CMS was born in November 2022, when the progress of Netlify CMS was stalled for more than six months. @kyoshino’s clients wanted to replace their Netlify CMS instances without much effort, mainly to get better internationalization (i18n) support.

To achieve radical improvements in UX, performance, i18n and other areas, it was decided to build an alternative from the ground up, while ensuring an easy migration path from the other. After proving the concept with a rapid Svelte prototype, development was accelerated to address their primary use cases. The new product has since been named Sveltia CMS and released as open source software to encourage wider adoption.

We loved the concept of Netlify CMS — a single page app served from a CDN, plus a single YAML config file — and we wanted to revive it, modernize it, and take it to the next level.
