Payload CMS Compatibility

Django and Payload CMS can work together as a headless architecture, but they're fundamentally separate applications requiring API integration rather than native integration.

You can use NestJS with Payload CMS, but they're better as separate services rather than tightly integrated—NestJS handles your API/business logic while Payload runs as a headless CMS.

Flask and Payload CMS can work together as a headless setup, but they're fundamentally different technology stacks (Python vs TypeScript) requiring separate deployments and API integration.

FastAPI and Payload CMS can work together as separate services (FastAPI frontend consuming Payload's REST API), but they don't integrate directly since Payload is TypeScript-based and FastAPI is Python.
