System Overview

Airogel CMS is a multi-tenant content management system built on Ruby on Rails with flexible schema-based content modeling, Liquid templating, and a REST API.

Multi-Tenancy

Uses account-based multi-tenancy powered by the acts_as_tenant gem. Accounts are isolated workspaces containing all CMS content.

Core Entity Relationships

  • Account - Tenant workspace
  • Collections - Content groupings
  • Blueprints - Schema definitions
  • Entries - Content items
  • Blueprint Values - Field data

Request Flow

Public website requests are handled by ContentController which finds content paths, loads entries, and renders Liquid templates.
