Ask HN: Headless CMS with access to underlying data?

What’s the best headless CMS that spins up a database (like Postgres) that you can connect to directly beyond the API?

I basically want to use a headless CMS to kickstart a project but not be locked in and eventually build a custom backend

Hey there - I'm CEO of Payload (YC S22) [1] and you're speaking my language.

We're an open-source CMS where you completely own your database. Right now we're MongoDB-only, but we are actively working on adding Postgres support and that should be done VERY soon.
