- Internal (File Systems Based): Utilizes the internal file system for content storage.
- Amazon S3: Integrates with Amazon S3 for scalable and reliable object storage.
Content Versioning and Metadata
The CMS Engine provides support for content versioning, allowing developers to track and manage changes to content over time. Additionally, metadata can be associated with content, providing context and additional information.
Conclusion
The CMS Engine in codbex platform provides a versatile Content Management System with support for the CMIS specification and various backing services. Whether utilizing the internal file system or integrating with cloud-based solutions like Amazon S3, developers can manage content efficiently while benefiting from content versioning, metadata association, and seamless switching between backing services.
