Directus developer, UK
I build on Directus when the data comes first: a SQL database that needs a clean editing screen and a JSON API on top.
What I do with Directus
I model the data, set up roles and permissions, handle the files, and build the front end that reads from the API.
In production
A private photo archive for a school, built on Directus. Artists' photographs are managed in one place so students can learn from them.
When I choose it
Directus sits on top of a SQL database and leaves the tables as they are. That suits collections, archives and records, where the data will outlive the app that shows it.
Questions people ask
Payload or Directus?
Payload when the content model belongs in code beside the app. Directus when the database is the thing that matters and it needs an admin and an API.

A few lines about the project is enough. I read every message myself. I meet people face to face within about 30 miles of Portsmouth, and work with organisations anywhere in the UK.
