Where your content lives - Stage

The site reads content at build time and ships HTML. Visitors never talk to Stage.

Stored

Table	Holds	Read with
`pages`	Slug, title, sections, SEO	`getSitePages()`
`articles`	Posts	`getArticles()`
`forms`	Forms	`getForms()`
`globals`	Header, footer, site-wide values	`getGlobals()`
`media`	Uploads: hash, size, alt text	`getMediaMetaMap()`

Images and video live on the CDN at URLs the rows contain. Full list: data model. One page row:

{
  "slug": "about",
  "title": "About",
  "version": 12,
  "seo": { "description": "Who we are and how we work." },
  "components": [
    { "id": "hero", "type": "hero",
      "props": { "title": "About us", "body": "<p>Small team, long projects.</p>",
                 "image": "https://cdn.example.com/org/3f9a…-1920.webp", "imageVideo": "" } },
    { "id": "team", "type": "team-grid",
      "props": { "heading": "The team", "members": [
        { "id": "c_8S6FSMAj", "name": "Ana Ruiz", "role": "Design" },
        { "id": "c_KPsHeZwE", "name": "Tom Lee", "role": "Engineering" }
      ] } }
  ]
}

If Stage is unreachable

	Works
The deployed site	Yes
Images and video	Yes
Form submits	No
A rebuild	No
`/admin`	No

The last build keeps serving. A build that cannot reach Stage fails and leaves it in place.

Take a copy

import { writeFileSync } from "node:fs";
import { StageClient, getPages, getArticles, getGlobals } from "@sp-stage/sdk";

StageClient.init({
  dbUrl: process.env.STAGE_DB_URL!,
  publicKey: process.env.STAGE_PUBLIC_KEY!,
  orgId: process.env.ORG_ID!,
});

writeFileSync("content.json", JSON.stringify({
  pages: await getPages(),
  articles: await getArticles(),
  globals: await getGlobals(),
}, null, 2));

Media files are at the URLs in the rows. Form submissions come from us on request.
