Strapi is the #1 open source headless CMS frontend developers all over the world love. You can easily and quickly manage your content through an API and it's entirely made with Javascript (Node & React).
To make everything a bit easier, we created a blog starter containing a Strapi instance for managing your blog and a Next.js frontend.
To deploy your Strapi instance you'll need:
- A Heroku account for free
- A Cloudinary account for saving images for free
You'll need a Cloudinary account as Heroku filesystem is not permanent
Once you have created these accounts you can deploy your instance by clicking this button
To run it locally, add .env.local file with the following content (replace <YOUR-HEROKU-APP>):
API_URL="https://<YOUR-HEROKU-APP>.herokuapp.com"
Then start the server:
npm install
npm run dev
First, import this project into Vercel using the Git integration.
Then, set API_URL to your Heroku app’s URL from your project’s environment variables settings (documentation).
Note Your API_URL cannot contain a trailing slash.
