We just published our first few blog posts, and after exploring several different content management systems, we decided to use Strapi. Strapi is an open-source headless CMS written in Node.js; it works with most database management systems and it’s super easy to deploy.

We use Sapper and Svelte for the Koj website, and we have a pretty comprehensive CI/CD build process. The process includes running unit tests, Cypress end-to-end tests, Lighthouse audits, Semantic Release versioning, and finally exporting a static version of the site which is then published.

As a Swiss company, it’s extremely important to support at least two languages in our web app: English and German. If possible, we should also support other languages like French. So, we decided to build our website with internationalization best-practices in mind.
