## Frontend freedom with Strapi

Modern frameworks such as React and Next.js need content without a fixed HTML frontend. **Strapi** is an open-source headless CMS that lets you define data structures, manage content and deliver it through APIs.

**Deploy Strapi on Cloud Noce's [cloud hosting](/products/paas)** to build a backend for omnichannel applications across the web, mobile, and smartwatches. Strapi needs sufficient compute resources, and our PaaS services pair them with NVMe storage for fast API responses.
