Zeus

Zeus is the content platform behind ausor.ai. The CMS is built on Payload CMS and Next.js, started from the Payload website template; the public website is built with Astro and reads content from the CMS REST API.

Both apps live in one Bun workspace and are deployed as two Vercel projects:

• apps/cms → cms.ausor.ai (Payload admin, REST/GraphQL API, media, scheduled jobs)
• apps/web → ausor.ai (public website, Astro with Vercel ISR)
• packages/core → Payload config, collections, block schemas and generated types
