Strapi coworking evaluation stub

This is an incomplete evaluation stub, not an implementation guide.

Verified snapshot

Strapi is an open-core headless CMS: the catalog records an MIT core with enterprise features. It is available self-hosted and managed. The coworking case is structured marketing or resource-library content. It holds content entries, media, users, and personal data.

Sources reviewed 2026-07-17: homepage, repository, documentation, and pricing.

Evaluation questions

  • Does the site require a headless CMS rather than simpler static content?
  • Which roles, APIs, fields, and media are public versus private?
  • Which needed features are enterprise or plugin-dependent?
  • Can content types, entries, media, configuration, and code be restored and migrated?

Smallest experiment

Model Room, Event, and Blog content types with synthetic content and deliver JSON to a staging static site. Test denied API fields and content/media export.

Risks

  • Public API or role misconfiguration exposing data
  • Plugin/enterprise feature and upgrade dependency
  • Custom frontend and schema migration burden

TODO before a full guide

  • Threat-model admin, API, roles, tokens, media, and frontend
  • Verify current feature/pricing and plugin licenses
  • Test schema/content/media backup, export, and clean restore
  • Define editorial workflow and static/manual fallback
