Artgen is a low-code, headless content management system (CMS), a platform for managing and delivering data and content without dictating how that content is displayed. "Headless" means it handles the backend data storage and APIs but leaves the frontend presentation entirely up to you. "Low-code" means many tasks that would normally require custom programming can be done through visual interfaces instead. The platform can be started with a single Docker or Node.js command. It boots with a built-in in-memory database by default for quick previewing, but is designed to run against PostgreSQL or SQLite for real use. Connecting it to an existing database is also supported, it can read and optionally manage data from databases you already have running. Key features include a visual data modeler for designing database table structures without writing SQL (the language used to manage databases), a drag-and-drop UI editor for building admin interfaces, a visual flow engine for creating automated workflows, and automatic REST and OData API generation (REST and OData are standard formats for making data accessible over the internet). Built-in user management handles authentication and permissions. CRON-scheduled flows let you run automated tasks on a timer. GraphQL API generation and analytics dashboards are listed as upcoming features. The project was in beta at the time of the README, with the team focused on bug fixes and polish before a 1.0.0 release. It can be installed via Docker or as a Node.js package.
