Cortex CMS is a [multitenant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitenancy) identity, [custom content](https://docs.cortexcms.org/glossary#custom-content-cms) distribution/management and reporting platform built by the [Content Enablement][cb-ce-github] team at [CareerBuilder](https://github.com/careerbuilder). Its purpose is to provide central infrastructure for next-generation applications; exposing a single point of management while enabling quicker build-out of new software.
Cortex adheres to a headless, API-only architecture - it avoids a monolithic, all-in-one architecture associated with CMSs like WordPress or Drupal.
## Documentation
Cortex CMS features a comprehensive [documentation portal](https://docs.cortexcms.org). To get started, please refer to either the [Docker Compose guide](https://docs.cortexcms.org/basics/setup/docker-compose) \(recommended\) or the [manual setup guide](https://docs.cortexcms.org/basics/setup/manual-setup).
