help Sanity FAQ
What database does Sanity use behind the scenes?
Instead of relying on traditional SQL databases, Sanity uses a proprietary, highly scalable document store called the Sanity Content Lake. You access this data using the open-source query language GROQ (Graph-Relational Object Queries), which allows for incredibly flexible data retrieval.
Can I customize the Sanity admin interface?
Yes, the Sanity Studio, which is where content editors write and manage data, is an open-source React application. Developers can build completely custom plugins, preview interfaces, and input components to tailor the editing experience perfectly to a client's workflow.
Is Sanity entirely free to use for personal blogs?
Sanity offers a very generous free tier that includes multiple users and a substantial amount of bandwidth and storage. This makes it perfectly viable for personal blogs or small portfolio sites, though enterprise-level traffic would require a paid plan.
Does Sanity support real-time collaboration for editors?
Yes, one of Sanity's standout features is its real-time editing capability. If two content writers are editing the same document in the Studio simultaneously, they can see each other's cursor and text changes immediately, similar to Google Docs.
