Auto-generated REST & GraphQL APIs for every content type

How Strapi handles requests

Every incoming request flows through a layered backend architecture: Routes → Middlewares → Controllers → Services.

Getting Started

Read the Getting Started tutorial or follow the steps below:

⏳ Installation

Use the Quickstart command below to create a new Strapi project instantly:

npx create-strapi@latest my-project

This command generates a brand new project with the default features (authentication, permissions, content management, content type builder & file upload).

Full installation options (including TypeScript, --quickstart, etc.) in the CLI installation docs

Requirements

Hardware & software requirements (OS, Node.js, databases) at Requirements docs

Docker

Strapi doesn't ship official Docker images, so you build your own from your project. The fastest way to get started is with the community CLI tool:

npx @strapi-community/dockerize@latest

This generates a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml tailored to your project. See the strapi-tool-dockerize repo for more details.

Dockerfiles, Docker Compose examples, production builds at Docker installation docs

Deploy to Strapi Cloud

The fastest way to go from local to production. Strapi Cloud is the official managed hosting platform with zero DevOps, a built-in database, media library, and CDN.
