Pouta is built on the intersection of modern developer tooling and content management — lean, fast, and open.
A familiar Gutenberg/Notion-like canvas built on BlockNote for crafting content. Every block outputs clean, structured JSON — no bloated HTML, no runtime surprises. Just pure, predictable content.
Zero servers. Zero maintenance. Global edge performance by default. Built explicitly for Cloudflare Workers and D1 SQLite edge storage — routing every request to the closest node.
Publishes structured Markdown/MDX directly to GitHub on click. Local drafts and real-time auto-saves are stored instantly at the edge inside D1, keeping your Git history completely clean and quiet.
Astro + Cloudflare Pages + GitHub = The fastest CMS you've ever shipped ☀️
Four high-performance, serverless edge layers combined to deliver the speed of a static site with the editing convenience of Notion or Gutenberg.
Built into the Astro project under a dynamic, server-side rendered (SSR) route (/admin). It runs on the Cloudflare Workers runtime and serves the BlockNote editor interface. Content creators get a smooth, Notion/Gutenberg-style editing canvas.
Every block typed in the editor triggers a lightweight background fetch to an Astro API route, instantly saving the raw block structure as a clean JSON array inside Cloudflare D1 (SQLite at the edge). This powers real-time auto-saves, draft history, and instant local previews without generating unnecessary Git noise.
When the user clicks "Publish", a secure backend API endpoint running on Cloudflare Workers compiles the BlockNote JSON data into a pristine Markdown/MDX file bundled with YAML frontmatter. It then uses the GitHub API to securely commit and push this file directly to the client's repository.
Cloudflare Pages natively detects the incoming GitHub commit and automatically triggers an optimized Astro static production build. The final live website is distributed globally across Cloudflare's edge network as 100% static HTML, boasting zero server overhead, infinite scalability, and sub-50ms load times.
Our evolutionary timeline from open-source local-first builder to a fully managed multi-tenant agency Cloud.
