Why teams leave Strapi

Why teams leave Strapi

  • Self-hosting is a second job

    You're managing servers, databases, SSL certificates, backup schedules, and uptime monitoring. That's infrastructure work your content team didn't sign up for, and your developers would rather spend that time on features.

  • Scaling means more infrastructure work

    Traffic grows? Scale the server. Content grows? Scale the database. Media grows? Scale the storage. Each dimension scales independently, and each one is your problem to solve.

  • Version upgrades are migration projects

    Strapi v3 to v4 was a breaking change. v4 to v5 requires migration effort. Each major version means rewriting plugins, updating APIs, and testing everything. It's not an upgrade; it's a project.

  • The plugin gap

    Strapi's plugin marketplace is growing, but critical features like advanced workflows, real-time collaboration, or complex field validation often require custom development. You're building what other platforms include.

What you gain with Sanity

  • Fully managed infrastructure

    Sanity is fully managed infrastructure. Servers, databases, CDN delivery, and backups are handled at the platform level. It scales automatically and runs globally.

  • Scales without your intervention

    Sanity's infrastructure handles traffic spikes, content growth, and API load automatically. Your team doesn't manage capacity or get woken up at 3 AM.

  • Content modeling that goes deeper

    Portable Text, nested object types, custom input components, document-level validation, and real-time preview. Sanity's content modeling capabilities go beyond Strapi's field types and components.

  • Real-time collaboration built in

    Multiple editors in the same document, live presence indicators, concurrent editing without locking. This isn't a plugin; it's how the platform works.

What changes when you move to Sanity

Fully managed infrastructure

Sanity is fully managed infrastructure. Servers, databases, CDN delivery, and backups are handled at the platform level. It scales automatically and runs globally.

Scales without your intervention

Sanity's infrastructure handles traffic spikes, content growth, and API load automatically. Your team doesn't manage capacity or get woken up at 3 AM.

Content modeling that goes deeper

Portable Text, nested object types, custom input components, document-level validation, and real-time preview. Sanity's content modeling capabilities go beyond Strapi's field types and components.

Real-time collaboration built in

Multiple editors in the same document, live presence indicators, concurrent editing without locking. This isn't a plugin; it's how the platform works.

No breaking upgrades

Sanity's Studio and APIs are versioned and backward-compatible. Update when you want, not when you're forced to. No rewriting plugins between major versions.

Built-in asset pipeline

Image transformations, responsive sizes, CDN delivery, and metadata management without setting up separate media hosting or configuring storage providers.

How we migrate from Strapi

We extract your Strapi data and rebuild it as structured Sanity content. No more self-hosting after this.

1

Data export

We export your content types, entries, components, dynamic zones, media, and relationships from Strapi's REST or GraphQL API.

2

Schema mapping

We translate Strapi content types and components to Sanity document types and object types. Dynamic zones map to Sanity array fields with multiple block types.

3

Content import

We transform and import all entries, converting Strapi's rich text and media references to Sanity Portable Text and asset references.

4

Frontend updates

We update your frontend data fetching to use Sanity's GROQ API instead of Strapi's REST or GraphQL endpoints. Your component structure stays intact.

5

Testing and launch

We validate all migrated content with automated comparisons, test the frontend integration, and handle the cutover. Your Strapi instance can be decommissioned after launch.
