• Performance: Fluent CMS demonstrates exceptional performance, being 100 times faster than Strapi as detailed in the performance-test-fluent-cms-vs-strapi.md. Additionally, the performance-critical APIs(use SQLKata/Dapper instead of Entity Framework) are 10% faster than manually written APIs using ASP.NET/Entity Framework, as detailed in performance-test-fluent-cms-vs-entity-framework.md
• Powerful: Leveraging its schema-driven architecture, Fluent CMS performs CRUD operations based on schema definitions rather than hard-coded specifics for each entity. This approach reduces repetitive tasks for developers, streamlining the development process.
• Lightweight: The codebase of Fluent CMS remains small, clean, and elegant, thanks to the use of modern tools like Entity Framework, SqlKata, SWR, PrimeReact, and JasonEditor.
