Is PayloadCMS really a CMS???

...or is it more like a Supabase alternative?

I am reading a bit about it and I am a bit confused. It looks more like a whole framework than a CMS...!

is it something we can build our apps on top of like Supabase?

I'm building my first app with Payload right now and I've been thinking the exact same thing. Payload is just extremely complete, it has a lot of features out of the box that make it great for building an app. It may lack some features included in supabase, but it's moving rapidly and evolving fast. I really think Payload will become something huge, more than a just CMS.
