Creating a media website with over 900.000 articles
summary
Strapi serves as the CMS hub for RD.nl, ingesting content from the daily newspaper system and a press agency, storing metadata in MySQL and assets in S3, and serving a Nuxt/Vue frontend for 50–70k daily visitors. The team imports ~900,000+ articles and 840,000 assets, builds an Elasticsearch index for full‑text and advanced internal search, adds Redis caching to offload the DB, and creates custom endpoints and plugins — these components deliver usable performance at scale.
