About Sanity

Sanity provides a structured content backend with a real-time API and customizable editing studio. Content is treated as structured data rather than page-centric blobs, enabling reuse across channels and platforms.

GROQ query language provides powerful content querying beyond REST/GraphQL conventions. Portable Text represents rich content as structured JSON rather than HTML, enabling rendering in any format or framework.

Sanity Studio is an open-source React application that serves as the content editing interface. It is fully customizable with plugins, custom input components, and workflow extensions. Deployable as a static site anywhere.

Real-time collaboration, image pipeline with CDN-delivered transformations, and webhooks for content-driven automation. Free tier includes generous usage. Paid plans scale with API usage and features.
