Technical Requirements

As a headless CMS, Storyblok stores your content and assets and delivers them over an API. It doesn’t render or host your website. The frontend that turns that content into pages is your own application, deployed to a hosting provider of your choice.

Storyblok handles the parts of the stack that manage, store, and deliver content:

  • The editing interface at app.storyblok.com, including the Visual Editor.
  • The content, served through the Content Delivery API and cached on a global CDN.
  • The assets, served from the asset CDN and transformed on demand using the Image Service.

Your frontend is an application that you build, deploy, and run:

  • The code that fetches content from the Content Delivery API and renders it.
  • The domain your visitors use.
  • The preview deployment that the Visual Editor loads.

The traffic between your frontend and Storyblok counts toward your plan’s quota.
