Solodev
Cloud-first enterprise CMS and digital experience platform built for AWS
About Solodev
Solodev is a cloud-based content management and digital experience platform that lets teams build, launch, and manage websites and apps from a single point of control. Billed as the world's first enterprise CMS built for the AWS Cloud, it pairs an easy drag-and-drop editor with developer-friendly APIs, native multisite support, and a hybrid headless architecture for omnichannel publishing.
