What We Do

Contentstack is a composable DXP which is a digital experience platform assembled from a series of best-of-breed solutions. These solutions work together via APIs to deliver content and digital experiences to customers in a more agile and flexible way than a single, integrated, and essentially monolithic platform. It brings a microservices approach to the DXP space. Our composable DXP stands out in the market, so your digital experiences can. The Contentstack platform builds on our pioneering headless CMS roots, making complete what headless CMS alone do not. This includes a built-in Marketplace, full-stack automation, and integrated front-end hosting for full end-to-end digital experience functionality. Unlike legacy DXP solutions, we do this with a 100% open MACH architecture for maximum choice and functionality up and down the composable stack. There is no stack like Contentstack.
