Kirby CMS
File-based CMS without a database — a German alternative to WordPress.
About
Kirby is a German file-based CMS built by Bastian Allgeier in Munich, using flat files (Markdown + YAML) instead of a database. Developed since 2012 and sold under a commercial licence, Kirby is widely respected in the European web development community for its developer flexibility and exceptional performance. Because there is no database, deployment is as simple as uploading files to any EU web server. Kirby has no external dependencies, no phoning home, and no telemetry — your content is entirely on your server. It is the CMS of choice for European web studios and agencies building websites for clients who require complete data sovereignty and minimal infrastructure complexity.
