Overview

Directus is a backend for building your projects. Connect it to your database, asset storage, and external services, and immediately receive rich developer tooling (Data Engine) and a comprehensive web application (Data Studio) to work with your data. Granular access control means users can only see, interact, and create data allowed by their role used by both the Engine and Studio.

How It Works

Choose How to Run Directus

You can use Directus Cloud for a fully managed project or self-host with Docker on your own infrastructure.

Directus Cloud

Directus Cloud is a fully managed service. Cloud architecture can be complicated and resource-intensive, so Directus Cloud provides scalable, optimized storage and infrastructure, and automatic updates so you can focus on building your project.

With your Directus Cloud account, you can set up teams to organize projects and billing. You'll be able to get a project running in about 90 seconds. Directus Cloud projects scale automatically to improve reliability, even with unexpected peaks in traffic.

Self-Hosted

If you want to run Directus on your own infrastructure, start with Create a project.
