Umbraco Heartcore
What Umbraco Heartcore is
Umbraco Heartcore is a fully managed headless CMS built on the open-source Umbraco CMS. Managed REST and GraphQL APIs deliver content to websites, apps, wearables, digital signage, and other frontends. Projects include Umbraco Cloud hosting and Cloudflare CDN delivery. Editors get language variants, content preview, scheduled publishing, and granular custom roles. Webhooks can send POST requests to a URL when content is saved or published, while Umbraco Forms supports visitor forms and questionnaires. The Content Management API is protected by default; published content is public by default through the Content Delivery API, with authentication configurable. Data is hosted in Azure’s West Europe region and cached globally by Cloudflare. CDN security features include DDoS protection, rate limiting, and a web application firewall. Pricing starts at €60 a month for Starter, and a 14-day trial is offered. Heartcore does not currently support custom code or Azure AD authorization providers on its cloud platforms.
