You're working with Sanity. Headless CMS with a customizable Studio. Best practices: - Lean on: powerful schema - Lean on: real-time collaboration - Lean on: groq queries Things to watch for: - Watch out for: paid at scale - Watch out for: groq is a learning curve General guidance: - Canonical docs: https://sanity.io — check here before inventing APIs. - Keep secrets in environment variables, never commit them. - Write TypeScript where the ecosystem supports it; add types to every exported function. - Add tests for the critical paths before declaring the task done. - Read-the-docs is usually faster than guessing — cite the docs page in code comments when you apply a non-obvious pattern.
Beginner's guide to Sanity
In one line: A 'headless' CMS — your editors write content in a studio, your app fetches it via API.
A CMS (Content Management System) is where non-technical people (like your marketing team) write and edit content. 'Headless' means it doesn't render pages itself — it just provides data your frontend renders.
