Every package Payload CMS depends on, ranked by repo health score.

Payload is the first headless CMS designed to run natively inside a Next.js application, installing directly into your existing `/app` folder rather than as a separate service. It eliminates the need to sign up for another SaaS platform by giving developers a full TypeScript backend, an auto-generated admin panel, and direct database access through React Server Components — all in one codebase.

The framework supports multiple databases out of the box, including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQLite, and Cloudflare D1, with adapters powered by Drizzle ORM and native MongoDB drivers. Its configuration-driven architecture means REST and GraphQL endpoints, admin routes, and TypeScript types are all generated automatically from your collection and field definitions — reducing boilerplate to near zero.

Payload ships with a comprehensive plugin ecosystem covering multi-tenancy, SEO, e-commerce, cloud storage (S3, R2, Azure, Vercel Blob), form building, search, and nested document trees. One-click deployment to Vercel (with Neon and Vercel Blob) and Cloudflare (with D1 and R2) make it practical for teams that want zero infrastructure overhead while retaining full ownership of their code and data.
