An introduction to Strapi
Strapi is an open-source headless CMS based on Node.js that is used to create and manage different forms of content using a RESTful API and GraphQL.
Additionally, Strapi makes developing, deploying, and maintaining APIs faster and can be configured to consume content via APIs using any HTTP client or GraphQL-enabled frontend.
These benefits are the reason we will use Strapi to create the backend of our Pinterest clone application, so we can focus more on the frontend without having to pay much attention to scaling the backend.
In the next section, we will work through scaffolding a Strapi project, building out all the collections we need in our project, and seeding out the Strapi account with dummy data.
