Sanity

This release should be boring, yet somehow it isn't.

??♀?"Why can't I use my favorite database?" We get asked this a lot so I went straight to the top to find out from Sanity CTO Simen Svale. Spoiler: the Content Lake is your new favorite database. Watch this episode and more at https://lnkd.in/d4jWHHGx

Front-end frameworks change. Tech stacks evolve. But your content foundation should last. At Sanity, we often see teams rebuild their websites every few years. But the most forward-thinking ones? They never replatform their CMS, because they’ve invested in structured content that scales beyond the frontend. Bejamas is a great example. Since 2019, they’ve moved from Gatsby → Next.js → Remix—without ever changing their CMS. Structured content, real-time collaboration, and developer-first workflows gave them the flexibility to adapt and grow—without tech debt. Read how they did it: Content that lasts: Scaling beyond your frontend (https://lnkd.in/eZ4FP5qi) If you're planning a redesign or front-end migration, this one’s worth a look.

"Self-hosting is only free if your time is worth nothing" – this isn't just a catchy phrase, it's the reality many developers face. Listen to our CTO/co-founder Simen explain why we built Content Lake instead of letting you bring your own database. It's not about limiting choice—it's about freeing you from database maintenance so you can focus on building experiences that matter. Sometimes, the most liberating tech is the one with opinions. New episode of Code && Content is out now! https://lnkd.in/dapHWbtB

New long-form YouTube tutorial on building content-driven apps with just your voice, Cursor and Sanity is up now! Link in the comments?? Awesome watching folks other than engineers take the course and build with Sanity for the first time. The barrier to entry is so low now.

Have you ever pushed an urgent content update only to realize users won't see it until they refresh? Or worse, did you have to build a clunky polling mechanism that either hammers your API or leaves content stale for too long? Good news: our Live Content API is now Generally Available. Instantly push content updates to large audiences. No refresh button required. Compatible with most popular front end frameworks. Now in GA. https://lnkd.in/dbJjcuMh

We are big Maggie Appleton fans at Sanity HQ, so pretty stoked about having her on Simeon Griggs' Code && Content podcast. Tune in!

?? Just published a new Course on Sanity Learn about working faster and better with Cursor (early access, requires login) It is an odd thing to write a course where everyone may have a different experience ?? so I want your feedback! Video coming next week! https://lnkd.in/eXr57anR

?? The March edition of "What's New at Sanity" is live! In which Evelina meets the engineers behind our latest features as they personally demo what they've built: ?? Christian walks through the Markdown shortcuts he built for the Portable Text Editor ?? Pedro shows how Content Releases (now available for all Growth plans) transform publishing workflows ? Cody demonstrates the performance improvements in Live Content API powering Visual Editing ??? Cody also showcases framework-agnostic Live Content API implementations on Apple Vision Pro Learn directly from the builders — no marketing fluff, just engineers sharing their work with fellow developers. ?? https://lnkd.in/dXteCHZH ?? https://lnkd.in/dp6Yc_FG
