ABOUT THE SOFTWARE

What is Directus

Directus is an open-source data platform — REST and GraphQL APIs auto-generated from any SQL database, plus a polished admin app called Data Studio — combining the convenience of a hosted headless CMS with full ownership of the underlying schema.

Directus is maintained by Monospace Inc. (founded 2020, Brooklyn, New York). The core platform is currently licensed under the Monospace Sustainable Core License (MSCL) — introduced with v12 in May 2026 — with an Innovation Grant that keeps usage free for organisations under $5M annual revenue and 50 employees. Each version automatically converts to GPLv3 four years after release. The SDK and several adjacent projects remain MIT.

The platform passed 34,000 stars on GitHub and over 38 million Docker image downloads. It connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, OracleDB, and CockroachDB — and crucially, it does not impose its own schema. Directus introspects whatever tables you point it at and generates a typed API and a Data Studio UI on top, so a team can adopt it incrementally over a database it already runs.

FEATURES

What Directus does

Directus pairs an instant API layer over any SQL database with a polished admin app for non-engineers. The platform has shipped fast through 2025–2026 — content versioning, AI assistants, a native Model Context Protocol server, and a redesigned Studio in v12.

Instant REST and GraphQL APIs

Both surfaces ship by default on every collection in your database. Same auth, same permissions, same query semantics — pick whichever your frontend prefers.

Data Studio admin app

A polished, role-aware admin UI for non-technical users. Custom layouts, drag-and-drop dashboards, and the v12 redesigned Studio.

Content versioning and drafts

v11.16 introduced global draft versions across every collection. v12 adds the native draft and publish workflow on top of that primitive.

AI Assistant and MCP server

v11.13 shipped a native Model Context Protocol server; v11.14 added an AI Assistant with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini adapters.

Database-agnostic

Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server, OracleDB, and CockroachDB. Directus mirrors your existing schema rather than imposing its own.

Policy-based access control

The v11 RBAC rewrite gave Directus per-collection, per-field, per-action policies — including row-level rules against any field condition.

Flows automation engine

Event, webhook, schedule, and manual triggers. Built-in operations for HTTP, mail, run-script, conditions, JSON manipulation, and dozens more.

Built-in localisation

The translations interface handles 60+ languages on the same item record, with v12 AI-powered translation operations layered on top.

WHY MANAGED

Why teams pick managed Directus

The trigger this year is Directus v12 (May 2026) and its new Monospace Sustainable Core License. The license itself stays permissive for most teams, but the v12 cutover adds Software Registration Keys, a Free Core Tier, and tighter enforcement — the operational discipline that "just running Directus" needs has grown alongside the platform's capabilities.

Running Directus in production is not just running a Docker container. The Directus image expects a Postgres or MySQL it can introspect, an SMTP transport for invitations and password resets, and a Redis (or Valkey) instance for caching and the WebSocket message backplane. Each of those has its own update cadence, backup story, and failure mode.

The operational gotcha most self-hosters discover the hard way is the Redis cache namespace. Directus writes entries into a SET defined by CACHE_NAMESPACE; once that SET crosses roughly a million elements, the container hangs on restart while it tries to delete the namespace, and the instance crashes. The fix is bounded CACHE_TTL, an explicit maxmemory-policy of allkeys-lru, and not relying on CACHE_AUTO_PURGE alone. None of that is in the default docker-compose example.

No more maintenance headaches!

Finaly, I can relax and not bother with maintenance. Each of the softwares that we run on DANIAN is automated and running stable for couple months already. They even assist us with modifying the DNS records. Once we needed to modify the config of Nextcloud so that we are able to upload higher than 5GB files and they assisted us fast. I also love their documentation!

Best managed service

I previously ran Peertube, Mastodon, Mattermost and Mirotalk on other providers before switching to DANIAN. I was tired of handling the updates and backups myself. Not only that the performance is "out of this world" fast, but their tech support is amazing. Since then I added 5-10 more Apps on my account. I also love how they add more softwares on their list constantly!

I had a problem with my card and the subscription could not be renewed in time. I notified their support and surprisingly, they showed much understanding.

Today couple of the videos on my Peertube got viral. Before I even noticed, their support have notified me via email that they proactively upgraded my app with more cpu & ram so that it continues to work without any downtime. They left the upgraded app with the added resources for couple days until the traffic stabilizes. After that I had the possiblity to stay on the same plan or keep the upgraded plan. Out of gratitude I stayed on the upgraded one.

Why install Chatwoot on a VPS that will cost me $20-25/month. Then worry about security, updates, backups, etc. Instead, I can activate it on DANIAN the same day for half the price. Plus, less headaches for maintenance. So happy I found out about this company!

USE CASES

Three teams who run Directus on DANIAN

These are representative team types we set up most often. Each starts with the same flat €9 plan.

8-PERSON DIGITAL AGENCY

Running five client headless backends without five operational stacks

One Directus instance per client at €9 each, regionally placed near each audience. The Nuxt and Astro frontends call /items/articles or a generated GraphQL query against per-client tokens. Schema parity between Directus and the client's existing database avoids the migrate-then-mirror trap that breaks rebuilds.

12-PERSON SAAS ENGINEERING TEAM

Instant admin UI over the production Postgres

Directus points at the production OLTP database with a scoped role, exposing a read-mostly Data Studio for customer-success and ops without building a one-off Retool. The MCP server makes the same data reachable from Claude or ChatGPT for the engineers who already work that way.

6-PERSON MULTILINGUAL PUBLISHER

Website, mobile app, and digital signage from a single source

Directus v12 draft-and-publish for staging editorial changes, AI translation operations for spinning up a French and Spanish locale per article, and content versioning so a feature update can preview against live without blocking the daily publish.

COMPARISON

Four ways to run Directus

There are four practical paths to a production Directus install: the vendor's own cloud, a VPS you operate, a home server, or a managed service like DANIAN. The honest math at 1, 5, and 10 Studio Users lands DANIAN lowest at every scale.

 Directus Cloud prices reflect the published Pro tier on directus.io/pricing; additional Studio Users charged at $15 each above the included 5. Pass-through infrastructure usage is billed separately on Directus Cloud and is included on DANIAN's €9 base tier within the documented usage envelope. 

BY INDUSTRY

Directus for specific industries

Directus's database-agnostic posture means the operational demands shift sharply by industry. Below are four where the platform genuinely fits, with the configuration we tune per workload.

Agencies operate under client contracts that often require data segregation per project and an exportable backup at hand-off — a processor-style obligation that gets sharper if the agency ever subcontracts a build. DANIAN provisions one Directus instance per client at €9 each, with isolated Postgres, isolated Redis, and per-project S3-compatible storage in the region the client's audience lives in. Each instance gets its own SMTP for invitations and its own SSO connection, so an agency project manager logs into ten Directus dashboards with one set of corporate creds. A 5-client agency runs Directus for €45/month total instead of stacking studio-user seats on a single Cloud project — we have agencies running this configuration today.
Publishers need a draft-and-publish workflow that does not require a deploy, multi-locale content authored by editors rather than developers, and edit-history granular enough to answer "who changed this headline at 11pm." Directus v12 (May 2026) is the first version where draft-and-publish ships natively rather than as a custom-fields hack; we turn on global draft versions by default. For multi-locale publishing, the translations interface handles 60+ languages on the same item record, and we wire the AI Assistant adapter into a customer-provided OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini key for first-pass translations. A typical newsroom we serve publishes 30–60 articles per week across three locales on a €9 instance.
E-commerce teams have an existing order-management database (Shopify-adjacent stack, custom OMS, or a Postgres in front of Stripe) and need an admin layer that mirrors the schema without forcing a second source of truth. Directus introspects the existing tables on connect and produces a REST and GraphQL surface that matches what the storefront already writes. DANIAN tunes CACHE_TTL conservatively on write-heavy collections like cart and order, runs Flows for status-change webhooks into fulfilment providers, and keeps a nightly logical backup of the OMS database in a region geographically separate from the primary write region — a 200ms-vs-2-hours difference if the primary region has an upstream event. Typical workload: 50k–200k order rows, low single-digit GB of attachments, a few hundred RPM sustained.
SaaS engineering teams reach for Directus when the choice is "build another Retool dashboard" versus "give support a sanctioned admin UI over the production Postgres." Directus connects to the production database with a scoped read-write role; DANIAN configures a read-mostly policy for the support and ops roles so a customer-success agent can search a user, inspect a subscription, and reset a feature flag without a CLI session. Directus's native Model Context Protocol server (v11.13, November 2025) extends that same admin into Claude or ChatGPT for the engineers who prefer it — and the policy layer means AI access follows the same rules as human access. Typical impact: a single Directus instance replaces 3–5 ad-hoc internal admin pages that the team would otherwise maintain themselves.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything teams ask before signing up — answered straight, without sales speak.

Three groups: technical setup, migration, and how DANIAN works as a service.

01

Technical and configuration

We pin each tenant to a specific Directus minor version rather than the floating latest tag — the upstream docs recommend the same for production. We track new patch releases, run a smoke test in a sandbox tenant against an anonymised schema, then roll patch versions out tenant-by-tenant on a monthly cadence. Major-version upgrades (v11 to v12 in May 2026, for example) are scheduled with each customer because they can introduce breaking changes to extensions and the permissions model.
Yes. Extensions drop into the /extensions volume and are loaded on the next instance start. We support the official extension SDK pattern — interfaces, displays, layouts, modules, hooks, endpoints, operations, and bundles.
Yes — both ship by default on every Directus install we run. /items/[collection] is the REST surface, /graphql is the GraphQL endpoint, /graphql/system covers system collections. We do not turn either off unless you ask. Authentication is the same — static tokens, session tokens, or OAuth/OIDC against the auth providers you configure.
WEBSOCKETS_ENABLED is on by default and the reverse proxy in front of every Directus tenant passes Connection: Upgrade and Upgrade: websocket headers cleanly. That makes Visual Editor live preview, the realtime subscription endpoint, and collaborative editing presence indicators all work without further config. The collaborative editing field-locking feature added in v11.15 needs Redis as the message backplane, which is part of the default install.
The €9 base tier is sized for small-to-medium content workloads — generally low millions of rows in primary collections, single-digit gigabytes of attachments, and traffic up to a few hundred requests per minute sustained. Bigger workloads move to a higher tier; we'll quote that on a chat when we see your actual data shape. We have not seen the €9 tier crowded out by typical agency, media, or internal-admin workloads.
Most customers running a single managed Directus instance for their own application sit under the Innovation Grant threshold (sub-$5M annual revenue and under 50 employees), which keeps usage free under the new Monospace Sustainable Core License that ships with v12. Above the threshold, the v12 model adds Software Registration Keys and a Free Core Tier; we'll surface the key in the instance config when Directus requires one. We do not relicense or resell — your relationship with Directus's licensing terms is direct.
Yes. Flows triggers (event, webhook, schedule, manual, operation) all run on the managed instance. Outbound HTTP from Flow operations works against any reachable endpoint. For inbound webhook triggers, we publish a per-tenant URL on the Directus public endpoint, so a Stripe or GitHub webhook can call /flows/trigger/[id] directly. We rate-limit anonymous trigger calls per-tenant to avoid noisy-neighbour issues across the platform.

02

Migration and onboarding

We can activate your app on your own custom domain/subdomain. Examples: mydomain.com, anyword.mydomain.com.
Or, on our randomized free subdomain. Example: 963.apps.danian.cloud
If you wish to use a custom domain/subdomain, select that option when ordering your app (or notify us later). We will send you the required DNS records and if needed, our tech team will modify them for you.
21 datacenter locations across six continents. You choose the region at provisioning. Application data sits in the region you choose; pick whichever is closest to your users or matches your data-residency preference.
Yes. Request a region migration from the dashboard and we run the move in the background. The system emails you when the migration completes; total transfer time depends on data volume but typical instances finish in a few hours. There is no extra charge for a region change.
Yes. Full data export is available at any time, in a portable format you can bring to any infrastructure.
Strapi-to-Directus is a content-shape exercise, not a one-click import. Export Strapi collections to JSON, write a small Directus import script using the SDK or REST API to map field types (Strapi's media component maps to Directus directory files; Strapi's components to Directus M2A or repeatable JSON). For Contentful, Sanity, and Storyblok, the pattern is the same — export to a structured intermediate and import via the SDK. We help on this on chat for managed customers.

03

Billing, support, and platform

€9 covers everything we do for that app: hardware in the region you choose, daily off-site backups with one-click restore, automatic security patches and version upgrades, 24/7 monitoring, SSL and firewall, and engineering support on Email/LiveChat. There are no setup fees or hidden line items. For more info see our Pricing page.
If you decide to continue, we charge €9/app/month from day 8. If you don't, the trial ends and you can export your data. No card is required for the trial, and we never auto-charge you without explicit consent.
No. The €9/month is flat regardless of how many users log into your app. Add 5 users or 50; the price doesn't change.
24/7 Live chat and email support, both staffed by engineers who run the systems. We handle DNS configuration, SMTP setup, app integrations, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and migration help. Response time is typically under an hour. There is no tier system — every customer gets the same support.
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard. We don't charge a cancellation fee, we don't lock data, and we will export your data to you on request before deletion. data to you on request before deletion.
Every customer instance is backed up daily to a separate region from the primary. We test restores. You can request a restore at any backup point within the retention window — usually 7 days for daily backups.
Your application data sits in the region you choose at provisioning — 21 datacenter locations across six continents. Account-level data (billing, account email, support ticket history) is processed centrally. Application data region is picked by you, per app.
99.9% uptime SLA on every app, every tenant. Service credits are documented at danian.co/service-level-agreement. The status page is located at status.danian.co.
When your tenant approaches the resource ceiling — the base tier holds 1 vCPU/RAM, 30 GB storage — we notify you. Resource upgrades happen with your explicit consent; we will not upgrade your tenant or charge you without it.
We wait. We don't suspend the app or delete your data on the first failed charge. We email you, you fix the card on file, and we continue.
Invoices can be downloaded from the billing dashboard in PDF the day each charge succeeds. EU VAT is added where applicable and the VAT-reverse-charge regime applies for VAT-registered businesses with a valid number.
150+ open-source apps across automation, team chat, file sync, analytics, AI, password management, email marketing, dev tools, project management, smart home, CMS, and federated social. See the full catalog →
Yes. Every instance comes with a web-based terminal and a file manager in your DANIAN management dashboard. Useful for managing your data and customizations.
Resources scale with your usage. If your app needs more vCPU, RAM, or storage, we add it — and we ask first before any change to your plan. €9 is the floor; resource-heavy workloads may price higher, but you'll always know in advance.
Yes. We have both a Partner program and an Affiliate program available. Anybody can sign up.
