Sanity

Sanity is a headless content platform with a fully customisable editing studio and real-time collaboration. Its strengths and when I use it.

Request an AI summary

Sanity is a headless content platform. Its editing interface, the Studio, is configured in code, so it can be shaped exactly around a project’s content and workflows.

Strengths: what it’s good at

  • Custom studio: fields, validation, previews and editing views tailored to the content, not the other way around.
  • Real-time collaboration: several editors in the same document, with history and comments.
  • Structured content: rich text stored as data, which makes reuse across channels easy.
  • Queries: a flexible query language (GROQ) that fetches exactly the content a page needs.

Limits: what to consider

The flexibility needs development time: a well-made Sanity setup is designed, not just installed. For simple sites with few content types, a lighter tool can be enough.

Use: when I choose it

For projects with complex or highly structured content, for editorial teams that work together on content, and when the editing experience should fit the team precisely. I pair it with Astro, Next.js or SvelteKit.
