Automad is a flat-file content management system that stores all content in JSON formatted files rather than relying on a database. This approach minimizes administrative overhead and eliminates the need for complex setup procedures.
Your site remains portable and deployable on minimal hardware while still providing database-like features such as searching and tagging. Backups are simplified to the process of committing files to a Git repository.
