CloudCannon

About CloudCannon

CloudCannon is a git-based content management system that connects to a Git repository and builds a static site with every push, using the team's chosen static site generator. Editors work through a visual, live-hosted preview to update content and publish changes, while developers define the editing experience by building components locally and pushing them to Git; content stays versioned and synced within the Git repository throughout.

The platform builds and hosts sites as static output, with the option to bring your own hosting. It is aimed at both digital agencies managing multiple client sites and in-house web teams who need non-technical editors to update content independently without developer involvement for routine changes.

CloudCannon markets compatibility with AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and self-hosted models, citing that these tools work on plain files in Git, which is how CloudCannon projects are structured.
