Directus attributes its success to a three-pronged approach: an open-source project fostering a strong community, professional and enterprise offerings like Directus Cloud, and a fully extensible platform that developers and users can customize. The platform's extensibility is highly valued, enabling users to integrate various services and build automation. In an effort to enhance usability, Directus has launched the Directus Marketplace Beta in version 10.10, featuring a new Extensions Registry that simplifies the discovery and installation of extensions. This registry, currently using npm as a data source, aims to foster trust and potentially offer monetization opportunities for developers. The Marketplace, accessible for all Directus projects, is open to feedback from the community to drive its future development, with discussions facilitated via a dedicated Discord channel.
