What is DatoCMS?

DatoCMS is static site generators & hosting from Dato Srl, based in Milano, Italy. Headless CMS with a content API and image CDN for building static and dynamic websites.

Static site generators and the platforms that host them produce sites that are fast by default and cheap to run, because pages are built ahead of time rather than assembled on every request. They are the standard choice for documentation, marketing sites and blogs, and increasingly for full applications through frameworks that mix static and dynamic rendering. Hosting platforms in this space compete on build minutes, bandwidth and edge functions.

A free plan is available, with paid plans for growing teams.
