Best When

You need a structured, searchable FAQ system with enterprise auth, multilingual support, and a REST API for programmatic access — and you want full control over hosting.

Avoid When

You need a hosted SaaS solution or a full wiki/CMS rather than a dedicated FAQ platform.

Use Cases

  • • Internal company knowledge base or support FAQ portal
  • • Customer-facing self-service FAQ site with multilingual support
  • • Integrating structured FAQ content into AI pipelines via REST API
  • • Enterprise knowledge management with LDAP/Active Directory SSO
  • • Documentation portals requiring revision history and WYSIWYG editing

Not For

  • • General-purpose CMS or blog platforms
  • • Real-time collaborative wikis (use Confluence or MediaWiki instead)
  • • Environments without PHP 8.4+ hosting capability

  • ⚠ Requires self-hosted PHP 8.4+ environment; no SaaS option
  • ⚠ Elasticsearch/OpenSearch is optional but required for full search performance at scale
