Announcing the Directus Marketplace Beta

Introducing the Directus Marketplace Beta: distribute and install extensions in any Directus project and supercharge your projects.
Announcing the Directus Marketplace Beta

My co-founder Ben has often used the analogy that Directus’ success as a business is a three legged stool:

  1. Our open source project that anyone can pick up and use. It forms the basis of our incredible community who actively use the project and bring it to their teams.
  2. Professional and Enterprise offerings in the form of the world-class Directus Cloud, advisory consulting, and support.
  3. A fully extensible and theme-able platform, with a rich ecosystem of developers and users who augment and enhance what Directus can do for their projects.

The ability to extend Directus is something developers love. Our customers use extensions to integrate with translation services, transform videos, build automation, and more. Our community have built dozens of excellent extensions to extract text from images, add new ways to display data, and bring new ways to gain insights - like the Directus Copilot panel.

While Directus has always been extensible, we want to make it easier to discover and install extensions across all projects.

It is in our nature to release big new features early, and use feedback to finalize them.

With this in mind, today we are announcing the availability of the Directus Marketplace Beta in Directus 10.10.

Marketplace Main

The Directus Extensions Registry

At the heart of the Directus Marketplace is our new Extensions Registry.

Currently using npm as a data source, it allows extensions developers to publish their extensions as before, but project admins to more easily discover and have trust in extensions before installing them.

Having our own registry also means that we can expand data sources in the future, including behind monetization features, allowing extension authors to benefit financially from the Marketplace.

Building and Using Extensions

You can find guides in our documentation around building extensions, the Sandbox SDK, which is required for API extensions to be distributed to increase trust and security, and other notes around the Marketplace from both a developer and user standpoint.

The Directus Marketplace will be available this week for both self-hosted and Directus Cloud projects running both Professional and Enterprise Cloud projects.

This is the first time extensions have been available across all of Directus Cloud, and we’re proud to be able to offer this on day one.

Your Feedback Shapes the Future

As the Marketplace is in Beta, we're actively seeking feedback to refine and improve the platform. We've outlined areas for future development, such as global options for extensions and improvements to Sandboxed Extensions, in our docs.

Join the #marketplace-beta channel on Discord to participate in the conversation.
