Sanity

Why Developers Love Sanity

Sanity gives developers complete control over the CMS experience. Customize everything, collaborate in real-time, query with GROQ.

My Experience

Sanity is my headless CMS of choice for development projects. The customization possibilities are endless, real-time editing is impressive, and the content lake architecture is powerful.

What Makes Sanity Special

1. Total Customization - Build exactly the studio interface editors need. Custom inputs, validation, previews. The CMS that fits your workflow, not vice versa.

2. Real-Time Collaboration - Multiple editors working simultaneously. See changes as they happen. Google Docs-style collaboration for structured content.

3. GROQ Query Language - Purpose-built query language for content. Powerful, readable, fast. Query exactly what you need, nothing more.

4. Content Lake - Your content in a powerful, queryable data lake. History, revisions, relationships all accessible. Content infrastructure that scales.

Where Sanity Falls Short

Steeper learning curve than turnkey solutions. Requires development time to customize. Less out-of-the-box than competitors. Documentation can overwhelm.

Who Should Use Sanity

• Developer teams wanting customization
• Projects needing unique CMS interfaces
• Teams with real-time collaboration needs
• Anyone who outgrew basic headless CMS
