The text provides an overview of Strapi, an open-source, headless CMS that allows developers to create APIs with a user-friendly interface, emphasizing its role in managing backend logic and database interactions. It highlights Strapi's capabilities in implementing policies—functions that apply specific logic to requests before they reach the controller, enhancing security and maintaining DRY principles in code. The document describes practical applications of policies at Axolo, a tool that facilitates communication around pull requests via GitHub and Slack. Axolo uses Strapi policies to manage user roles, secure premium features for paying customers, and schedule tasks with Heroku by ensuring the execution of certain actions only on specific days, like weekdays. Overall, the text underscores the versatility of Strapi in building scalable projects with structured backend logic while maintaining efficient communication and collaboration among development teams.
