KeystoneJS

KeystoneJS (or just Keystone) brings the great features of CMSs to the world of Node.js, allowing developers and end-users alike to easily create and manage websites using a centralized administration panel.

Built to work with MongoDB databases only, Keystone uses the Mongoose ODM to interact with the database, to store and retrieve data whenever needed.

The CMS itself is quite small when it comes to file size, is extremely easy to deploy, just like any other Express app, and comes with plenty of documentation to help new users out.

Keystone can be used for any type of project, both MongoDB and Node.js being known to handle huge traffic and server loads with ease.

This doesn't mean small sites can't be built with it also, Keystone being also ideal for one-page or simple portfolio sites as well.
