Summary

Sanity positions itself as a "Composable Content Cloud" rather than a traditional headless CMS, emphasizing its ability to integrate and interact with other technologies through its modular components. This platform comprises various standalone technologies such as Sanity Studio, Content Lake, and a range of APIs, which allow users to efficiently manage, store, and distribute content across multiple channels. The system is schema-less, providing flexibility in content management and allowing users to update specific content pieces without overwriting entire documents. Sanity's composability is likened to shell scripting, enabling users to combine tools without relying on specific features, thus offering flexibility and convenience. This approach has attracted clients like a noted Nordic design house, seeking a balance between monolithic and microservice solutions, allowing them to focus on core business needs while Sanity manages API scaling and performance.
