Cosmic offers a headless CMS that enables content managers and developers to work better together. By providing an intuitive Admin Dashboard, powerful APIs, and flexible user roles, applications are built faster, more light-weight, and your whole team ends up saving time in the process. To demonstrate how easy it is to get started with Cosmic, I'll quickstart a Next.js Website Boilerplate using the Cosmic CLI and connect it with my Cosmic Bucket Dashboard.
