SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Strapi, backer of the world’s leading open-source “headless” content management system (CMS), today announced the stable release of Strapi v4, including a new design system, user interface, plug-in API (application programming interface), database query engine, and improved REST and GraphQL API performance.

"Strapi v4 not only boosts performance compared to the previous version but also makes the process of integrating other tools in our stack a breeze,” said Kuldeep Arora, Principal Delivery Lead at Virgin Media.
With 40,000 stars on GitHub, 700 active contributors, and more than 5 million downloads to date, Strapi is the fastest-growing open-source Headless CMS.
