Keystone is a scalable headless CMS for building GraphQL APIs in Node.js. It is open source and equipped with a very decent admin UI where you can manage your content. Just like WordPress, you can create custom content types in Keystone called lists and then query your contents through the GraphQL API. You create lists from source, just like you create REST APIs. You add what you need for your API so that it is highly scalable and extensible.
To use Keystone, first, you need to prepare a database for storing your content. Keystone supports MongoDB and PostgreSQL. You need to install and configure one of them and then find out the connection string for Keystone. You learned about MongoDB in Chapter 9, Adding a Server-Side Database, so using it again as the database for Keystone should not be an issue for you. But what about PostgreSQL? Let's find out.
