# Dyrected

Dyrected is a code-first content platform for custom websites.

Dyrected Cloud is a managed content backend for website content, media, content APIs, editor access, publishing workflows, and Cloud-safe hooks defined as content rules. Cloud content events and webhooks are coming soon.

Self-hosted Dyrected runs inside your server application and supports arbitrary TypeScript hooks, custom authentication, custom endpoints, and broader application-specific backend logic.

Use the Cloud docs when you want managed content infrastructure. Use the self-hosted docs when Dyrected must run inside your own runtime.

This runtime framing is derived from the July 29, 2026 product-boundary and docs-architecture specs and should be human-reviewed before being treated as final product positioning.
