Alternative Directus #6414

Description

@SelinaBuff

Problem:

Due to recent changes in Directus’ licensing and feature enforcement (BSL/limits on collections, flows, and core features in free self-hosted instances), our current usage exceeds the allowed free tier limits.
As a temporary workaround, the installation was downgraded to an older Directus version. However, remaining on an outdated version is not a viable long-term strategy due to security risks and lack of maintenance. We need to evaluate long-term alternatives, which may include replacing Directus with another self-hostable CMS or removing the CMS dependency entirely.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Analysis: Abolish CMS
  • Evaluation of CMS alternatives. Verify self-hosting capability and open-source licensing terms (ensuring no vendor lock-in or restrictive free-tier limits). https://docs.astro.build/de/guides/cms/
  • Document all key points in the ticket and present the results to the team
