An interview with DatoCMS

DatoCMS, a headless CMS provider, recently integrated with Mux to enhance its media handling capabilities. Founded four years ago within Lean Panda, an Italian creative web agency, the company aimed to improve usability for editors and support clients using various CMSes. Dato's differentiators include advanced media area features, ease of use, and seamless integrations with existing workflows and APIs. The addition of video functionality was driven by user demand and sets Dato apart in the headless CMS space. The company is excited about the focus on front-end development in the JAMstack approach, allowing them to concentrate on client needs. The Mux integration works invisibly for end users, with Dato handling uploads and listening for webhooks to manage video playback experiences.
