Can anyone point me to a good headless CMS solution that doesn't introduce vendor lock in? I've tried Contenful and I only got nothing but good things to say about it. Probably something open source and self hosted.

I really like Ghost https://ghost.org/

It's more for prose than ecommerce but it's really pleasant to use and great for headless through its GraphQL interface.

I recently wrote a tutorial on how to use it with Gatsby & AWS serverless infrastructure so that everything is self-hosted but without the overhead of operating servers. https://docs.stackery.io/docs/tutorials/jamstack-ghostgatsby...

Have you looked at Craft? It has headless-mode via a GraphQL API.
there are a lot of good options here: https://headlesscms.org/

i personally use Netlify CMS for my website. it's not as feature rich as some other options, but for a personal blog, it gets the job done, and it's open source

Thanks for that link, will take a look!
