Our Strapi Approach

How Miracuves delivers Strapi headless CMS solutions — from 30+ projects of real experience

After deploying 30+ headless CMS solutions, Miracuves has a specific way of working with Strapi. We start from content architecture — designing content types, API endpoints, roles, and admin panel configuration that match your channels — not from a blank Strapi install.

Strapi delivers REST and GraphQL APIs from one Node.js codebase, with PostgreSQL persistence and a React admin panel editors actually use. For media, e-commerce, and SaaS teams, that means one CMS feeding web, mobile, and internal tools without per-seat licensing surprises.

Who this service is built for: Media companies, e-commerce brands, SaaS platforms, and enterprises that need a self-hosted, API-first CMS with full infrastructure control, published pricing, and a company accountable for delivery — not staffing agencies or generic WordPress shops.

Content-type modeling first — schema, relations, and permissions before API generation
REST + GraphQL auto-generated — extended with custom controllers and lifecycle hooks when needed
Plugin architecture — i18n, SEO, sitemap, and custom Strapi plugins scoped to your product
PostgreSQL + Docker on every project — staging and production environments from week one
Frontend integration included — Next.js, React, or mobile consumers wired to Delivery APIs

From our Strapi team — Regional media platform, 7 weeks

"12 custom content types, i18n for 5 languages, GraphQL for Next.js, and a custom editorial workflow plugin. Publishing time dropped 60% — editors manage all locales from one admin panel. API response times under 100ms at launch."

Technology Comparison

Strapi vs Contentful vs WordPress — which is right for your project?

Most development companies avoid this question because they only know one CMS. Miracuves answers it honestly — your CMS choice determines long-term flexibility, cost, and content workflow.

Technical Architecture

How Miracuves engineers structure Strapi projects for production

These are the specific decisions our engineering team makes on every Strapi project — from content-type modeling to custom controllers, plugin boundaries, and database persistence.

Architecture — Content Types First

Every Strapi delivery starts with content architecture in the Admin UI — collection types, components, relations, and role permissions before any frontend integration. This ensures REST and GraphQL endpoints match how editors actually work, not how developers guessed on day one.

Development — Custom Controllers & Lifecycle Hooks

Business logic lives in Strapi controllers and services — not scattered across frontend apps. Lifecycle hooks handle validation, webhooks, and cache invalidation server-side. Custom plugins extend the admin panel when native features fall short.

Performance — PostgreSQL, Redis, CDN Media

Miracuves deploys Strapi on PostgreSQL with indexed queries, Redis caching for hot endpoints, and CDN-backed media delivery. API response targets under 100ms for published content — load tested before frontend handoff.

What most Strapi agencies get wrong

Flat content models with no relations. Permissions left at default. Business logic pushed into Next.js instead of Strapi services. No staging environment. Miracuves has inherited every one of these — modeling correctly on day one is always faster than refactoring APIs after launch.

product.js — Strapi Custom Controller
// Custom controller extending auto-generated Product API // Used in Product Content Hub + editorial CMS builds const { createCoreController } = require('@strapi/strapi').factories; module.exports = createCoreController('api::product.product', ({ strapi }) => ({ async find(ctx) { // Enforce published-only for public API consumers ctx.query = { ...ctx.query, filters: { ...ctx.query.filters, publishedAt: { $notNull: true } }, populate: ['category', 'images'] }; const { data, meta } = await super.find(ctx); return { data, meta }; }, async publish(ctx) { const { id } = ctx.params; const entry = await strapi.entityService.update( 'api::product.product', id, { data: { publishedAt: new Date() } } ); // Invalidate CDN + notify mobile/web consumers await strapi.plugin('webhook').service('webhook').trigger('product.published', entry); return entry; } }));
Runs as a Strapi API controller — extends auto-generated CRUD with publish workflows, population defaults, and webhook triggers. Keeps frontend apps thin and content rules centralized. Used in every Strapi catalog Miracuves ships.

Quality Standards

How Miracuves ensures every Strapi delivery meets production standard

Every project passes through Miracuves quality gates before handoff — not as a checklist, as a non-negotiable delivery standard applied to every Strapi codebase we ship.

REST + GraphQL — both auto-generated and documentedAPI
Role-based access — admin permissions configured per content typeSecurity

Enforced QA Gates

Our 6 Continuous Delivery Gateways

Every content type, API endpoint, and plugin must successfully clear all six quality control gates before production handoff.

01

Strapi Code Review on Every Merge

Every plugin, controller, and lifecycle hook merged into your Strapi codebase is reviewed by a senior Miracuves engineer before staging deployment.

02

Automated Test Coverage Required

API integration tests for content types, plugin unit tests, and end-to-end tests for editorial workflows. Minimum coverage enforced before any production deployment.

03

Release Builds Profiled — Not Debug Builds

Miracuves load-tests REST and GraphQL endpoints on every release candidate. Staging performance is validated against production traffic targets — never accepted on assumptions alone.

04

Handoff Package — Not Just Admin Access

Source code, content type schemas, API documentation, environment variables guide, deployment credentials, and post-launch runbook — all included in every project handoff.

05

Production Deployment — Docker and Runbook Included

Miracuves handles environment configuration, database migrations, SSL, reverse proxy setup, backup policies, and production deployment validation before handoff.

06

Post-Launch Monitoring — 60-Day Active Support

Webhook health checks and API uptime monitoring configured pre-launch. Miracuves monitors error rates and response times during the 60-day post-launch support window — proactive, not reactive.

What affects Strapi project cost at Miracuves

Strapi CMS Launch pricing stays fixed when scope matches the base module. Custom Strapi builds scale with: number of content types and locales, custom plugins and lifecycle hooks, third-party integrations, multi-environment setup, migration complexity, and frontend surfaces beyond the standard stack.

Typical Strapi budget ranges

Module launch: from $3,699 · 3–8 weeks.
Custom build: $8,000–$25,000 · 6–16 weeks depending on scope.
Ongoing retainer: from $2,299/month for feature work and maintenance.
Every quote is written before payment — no surprise invoices after kickoff.

Client Reference

What a real Strapi project looks like at Miracuves

A regional media company publishing across 5 countries needed a unified content platform to replace their legacy WordPress setup — with multi-language support, role-based editorial workflows, and instant content delivery to web and mobile apps.

01

The Challenge

The existing WordPress site had 8 editors working across 3 languages with no proper workflow. Content publishing took 4+ hours per article due to manual HTML formatting, and the mobile app had a separate, unsynchronized content database.

02

What Miracuves Delivered

Built a Strapi headless CMS with 12 custom content types (articles, authors, categories, tags, media, ads, newsletters, podcasts, events, polls, breaking news, site settings). Configured the i18n plugin for 5 languages, set up GraphQL endpoints, and built a custom editorial workflow plugin with role-based approvals.

03

Outcome

Content publishing time reduced by 60% — from 4+ hours to under 90 minutes per article. The Next.js frontend served content at sub-100ms API response times. Editors could manage all 5 language editions from a single admin panel with granular permission controls.

Frequently Asked

Questions about Strapi development at Miracuves

What is Strapi and why would I use it as a headless CMS?

Strapi is an open-source headless CMS built on Node.js that lets you create custom content types, auto-generate REST and GraphQL APIs, and manage content through a flexible admin panel — all without any per-seat licensing fees. It is ideal for projects that need a self-hosted, API-first content management system with full control over infrastructure and data.

Does Miracuves deliver the full source code for Strapi projects?

Yes — completely. Miracuves delivers the full Strapi project codebase, content type configurations, custom plugins, API extensions, database migrations, and deployment scripts. Zero lock-in. Your team or any other development company can continue the work immediately after handoff.

How fast can a Strapi headless CMS be delivered?

A scoped Strapi delivery — with custom content types, admin panel configuration, API endpoints, and basic frontend integration — ships in 3–8 weeks depending on complexity. Migrations from platforms like WordPress or Contentful add 1–3 weeks. All timelines are stated in writing before any payment is requested.

Strapi vs Contentful — which does Miracuves recommend?

For most headless CMS projects, Strapi is right — self-hosted, open-source, unlimited content types, no per-seat pricing. Miracuves recommends Contentful honestly when your team needs fully managed hosting with zero DevOps overhead, or when you need Contentful’s built-in CDN and SLA guarantees for enterprise compliance.

Can Miracuves migrate my existing CMS to Strapi?

Yes. Miracuves has migrated projects from WordPress, Contentful, Sanity, and Drupal to Strapi. The migration process covers content model mapping, data export and import, URL and redirect preservation, API contract compatibility, and user and permission transfer. All existing content is preserved with full audit trail.

Does Strapi support GraphQL and REST APIs?

Yes, Strapi auto-generates both REST and GraphQL APIs from your content type definitions. REST endpoints follow standard CRUD conventions at /api/collection-name. GraphQL is available via the GraphQL plugin and exposes queries, mutations, and subscriptions for all content types. Both can be extended with custom resolvers and controllers.

What hosting and infrastructure does Strapi need?

Strapi runs on any Node.js environment with a database backend. Miracuves typically deploys on AWS EC2 or DigitalOcean with PostgreSQL, uses Nginx as a reverse proxy, Redis for caching, and Cloudflare for CDN and DNS. Docker containerization is included in every delivery for consistent staging and production environments.

How does Miracuves handle NDA and confidentiality for CMS projects?

Miracuves signs a bilateral NDA before any project details are shared. The NDA covers all technical details, business logic, content strategy, and IP. An IP assignment agreement confirming 100% ownership transfers to the client is signed at project start — not at the end. Your content data remains yours exclusively.
