What I really like about Payload CMS is that everything is done through code, you don't have to go around clicking in the admin UI to setup things like you would do in WordPress, Strapi or even Directus.
You just configure everything directly in code and use the Admin UI to add data to your app. Being a developer this is really appealing to me. It has a great developer experience, but the end users don't need to know anything about coding to add new data to the CMS easily.
Let me show you how this works.
