Overview

Alinea is an open-source, Git-based content management system (“CMS”) primarily designed for Next.js websites deployed in serverless environments.

Alinea.cloud is an optional hosted service provided by the primary developers of Alinea (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”) to extend CMS functionality in contexts where serverless environments lack certain capabilities.

Service Description

By registering a project and linking it to a GitHub repository, Alinea.cloud facilitates the following:

• Authentication via OAuth2 and user/team role management

• Storage of temporary draft data in a managed database

• Publishing content by committing changes directly to your linked GitHub repository

• Fetching content history from your linked GitHub repository

• Managing user invitations to your CMS project

Alinea.cloud does not:

• Host your website’s published content

• Provide an API to fetch content data (this should be handled by your own serverless deployment)

Open Beta Disclaimer

Alinea.cloud is currently in open beta.

The Service is provided “as is” and without any warranties of any kind, express or implied.

We make no guarantees regarding uptime, data integrity, performance, or compatibility.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that data loss, downtime, or unexpected behavior may occur, and you agree that we cannot be held responsible for any resulting damages or losses.

User Responsibilities

You agree to:
