Connect AI agents safely, enrich content with structured AI fields, and automate review and publishing with a governed workflow engine.
White Label CMS for Multi-Site & Multi-Tenant
Run isolated client workspaces from one deployment — per-tenant branding, custom domains, users, roles, and content.
Enterprise Media DAM
Non-destructive editing, virtual scrolling (10k+ assets), and privacy-first local AI tagging via Ollama.
Bi-directional Collection Builder
GUI + Code bi-directional sync with Valibot validation, AI field suggestions, and Svelte 5 Runes.
Enterprise Security & SSO
SAML 2.0 (BoxyHQ), SCIM 2.0, and SHA-256 chained audit logs for compliance-first teams.
First-Class DB Adapters
Native, production-ready support for MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and SQLite via Drizzle ORM.
Enterprise Security
Crypto audit logs, SAML 2.0, SCIM 2.0, and FLAC — all included at no cost. Competitors charge thousands per year.
Self-Healing Architecture
XState-powered reliability with ~2s measured cold starts and circuit breaker patterns for maximum uptime.
Visual Workflow Engine
Automate publishing, moderation, and approval flows with a visual finite-state machine — and orchestrate AI agents through human approval gates. No code required, fully audit-logged.
Local AI & AI-as-a-Field
Privacy-first local AI via Ollama, native `AIEnrichment` widgets, and the AI Command Bar.
Zero-Runtime i18n
Unique separation of UI language (Paraglide) and dynamic Content language with live translation progress tracking.
Zero-Overhead Local SDK
Use SveltyCMS as a library inside your SvelteKit process. Zero HTTP, zero serialisation, microsecond latency.
Real-Time Collaboration
Character-level CRDT co-editing via Yjs + Hocuspocus. To our knowledge, the only self-hosted CMS with this built-in as of June 2026.
Self-Healing & Autonomous Ops
System Watchdog auto-compacts cache, rejects writes under memory pressure, and drains requests gracefully. Zero firefighting, more building.
Verified Enterprise Performance
A public benchmark ledger covering 58 modules across 4 databases — 16,236 RPS point reads, 14,059–15,464 RPS projected list reads, 6,745 RPS updates, and ~2s cold starts. Reproducible on your hardware.
Content Operations
Scheduled publishing, zero-dependency full-text search, native soft deletes, and version diffing — built into the core.
Visual In-Context Editing
Edit content directly on your live page with the SveltyCMS Website Starter (Svedit) — your website becomes the CMS.
AI-Powered Migration
Import from 36+ platforms — WordPress, Strapi, Directus, Sanity, Contentful, JSON, CSV and more — with schema and relations mapped automatically.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect remote AI agents directly to SveltyCMS over SSE. Search code, run semantic queries, list files, and inspect schemas.
True Open Source
BSL 1.1: free to use, modify, and self-host for most teams. Features including SAML and Multi-Tenancy are open to all — large enterprises pay for a commercial license.
Enterprise Plugin Ecosystem
SSRF-safe data federation, AI migration, redirects, sitemaps, PageSpeed insights, payments, and more — built-in plugins with sandboxed execution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SveltyCMS free and open source?
Yes. SveltyCMS is free and open source, and enterprise-grade capabilities — SAML 2.0 SSO, SCIM 2.0 provisioning, tamper-evident audit logs, multi-tenancy — are included in the core. There is no paid enterprise tier for these features.
Which databases does SveltyCMS support?
MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and SQLite — all production-ready with engine-specific optimizations (GIN indexes, TTL cleanup, 7 SQLite performance PRAGMAs). Switch engines without rewriting your content models.
How fast is SveltyCMS?
Measured in our public benchmark ledger: 16,236 RPS warm point reads at 0.07 ms, 14,737 RPS random point reads, 14,059–15,464 RPS projected list reads, 5,266 RPS concurrent creates, and 6,745 RPS updates. Every number is reproducible with bun test tests/benchmarks/.
Does SveltyCMS support SSO, SAML, and SCIM?
Yes — SAML 2.0 enterprise SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace via BoxyHQ Jackson Hub), OIDC, and SCIM 2.0 (RFC 7644) user provisioning are built in and free.
Is SveltyCMS edge-ready?
Yes. The admin UI compiles away to zero runtime, i18n (Paraglide) is compiled at build time, and the measured SQLite cold start is ~2.0 s boot / ~1.4 s respawn (2026-09-18). The whole stack deploys to edge runtimes as SvelteKit.
Does SveltyCMS include real-time collaboration?
Yes — native CRDT co-editing via Yjs + Hocuspocus with character-level sync, remote cursors, and offline merge. No plugins required.
