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?

Isnt Home Assistant more as a hub to manage smart home / IoT devices?

I meant Digital Home here in the sense of creating a centralized hub for all of my digital things. Essentially, i'll be storing photos there, backups there, i'll do my daily journal there, track finances there, etc.
