Why We Built a Headless CMS for Bagels

The modern web needs a content layer as flexible as it is delicious. Here is why we ditched the monolith.

For years developers wrestled with monolithic content management systems: tightly coupled databases, slow rendering, editing that felt like 2005.

bagelCMS is a pure content layer. Define a model, write offline, and bake clean HTML you can push anywhere.

"We spent more time fighting our CMS than building features." — every lead developer ever.

A good bagel is the perfect intersection of structure and flexibility: a rigid outside (your schema) and a soft, customizable inside (your content).
