Meet BaseHub: Developer Velocity And Efficiency Right Down to The Database

BaseHub is a new headless CMS designed to streamline content management for developers and editors. It offers features like versioning, AI-driven content modeling, and branching (coming soon). The platform is currently in Public Beta with a free tier available for signup. BaseHub's team has experience building content-heavy websites and prioritizes collaboration and developer-friendly APIs. They have also launched a collection of customizable templates built with Next.js to help developers kickstart their web projects. The company initially started building on Supabase but switched to Neon for its production database due to cost inefficiencies and lack of compute autoscaling. Neon is a special kind of Postgres service that adds an autoscaling experience, dynamically adjusting resources based on actual demand. This feature helps BaseHub reduce unnecessary overhead during quieter times and automatically scales up during high-traffic moments. Another key feature of Neon is database branching, which enables developers to create isolated database copies for testing without relying on traditional backups. This not only makes migrations smoother but also speeds up debugging while reducing operational costs. BaseHub uses the Neon serverless driver to connect Cloudflare Workers directly to Neon, improving query speed and performance across regions. In summary, BaseHub is a modern headless CMS that aims to make content management fast, simple, and collaborative for developers and editors. It aligns with Neon's priorities of providing an efficient developer experience, flexibility, and a free tier.
