help KeystoneJS FAQ

What is KeystoneJS used for?

KeystoneJS is a Node.js framework for building content-managed websites and applications with a separate presentation layer. It provides a schema-driven backend, GraphQL API, and admin interface that can serve React or other front ends.

Which database does KeystoneJS 6 use?

Keystone 6 uses Prisma for database access and supports databases such as PostgreSQL, SQLite, and MySQL depending on the project configuration. The database choice is set in the Keystone configuration rather than being fixed by the framework.

Does KeystoneJS provide a ready-made admin panel?

Yes, Keystone includes an Admin UI generated from the list schemas you define. Those schemas control fields, relationships, validation, and access rules, so editors can manage content without directly editing database rows.

How does KeystoneJS expose content to a frontend?

Keystone exposes a GraphQL API that a separate React, Next.js, or other frontend can query. The current Keystone project describes its packages as tracking Node.js Active LTS and Maintenance LTS releases. [Keystone GitHub](https://github.com/keystonejs/keystone)
