summary

Argues that any system with an API or file-write can be a CMS and demonstrates building an engine that normalizes drivers for Contentful, Trello and similar sources so Next.js pages call a single interface. Shows two engine patterns: an API engine (GraphQL/REST) and a file engine with a writer/reader that runs via npm run import and produces markdown consumed by getStaticProps. Emphasizes picking a few preferred tools and avoiding duplicated data-source logic.
