Comparisons
-
Carapace vs. Ghost
Ghost is a full Node server, database, and admin UI you run (or pay Ghost(Pro) to run) — Carapace has zero runtime on the read path.
-
Carapace vs. Database-Driven CMS (Strapi/WordPress)
Flat-file simplicity versioned in git vs. a database, a separate admin server, and everything that comes with maintaining both.
-
Carapace vs. Cloud Headless (Contentful/Sanity)
Local-first, direct MCP querying vs. a cloud dashboard and a middleware API layer to work around.
