We use a sorta open source CMS called dotCMS. Rather obscure, but meets many of our needs, among which is scaling to support 400 authors and somewhere over 900 web sites. As we scale to more users we'd like to start to decompose that into distributed components:
- authoring - indexing (Elastic Seach in our case) - publishing - caching (Redis in our case) - content distribution - workflow management - authorization, authentication Basically, having each function run in Docker containers that can be instantiated as needed. Our needs are likely way different than what you're aiming at, but to the extent you can meet them you may end up with a pretty flexible solution?
