SethuCMS: the ghost layer that gives any database a CMS

I left [brackets] wherever I don't know the facts: the AI model, any demo video, and the prize categories.

SethuCMS is an open-source, security-first Content Management System (CMS) that sits on top of any existing database. Unlike conventional CMSs that require data migration, SethuCMS connects to the database without altering its structure. Users can choose which collections to expose and provide editors with a seamless interface. The system maintains the data's original location and can be deactivated without loss.
The core components of SethuCMS include a REST API gateway, an admin panel, database adapters, SDKs, and a website. Built on TypeScript and React, the system emphasizes security with features like read-only default settings, connection-based write permissions, and a signed workspace system for project isolation. The project is hosted on GitHub and includes open-weight models, adapter templates, and an extensive tooling setup.
By enabling developers to create and share niche database adapters, SethuCMS promotes a collaborative, open innovation approach to CMS development.
