Hey there! I think GraphCMS would be a great addition to this list as the most advanced graphql headless cms!

Let me know if you need any details :)

I agree. GraphCMS is awesome! Native mutations API too ❤️

Open source - I would like to be able to deploy it myself, for example, to use it in intranet application.

It seems doesn't fit the bill. Or I'm wrong about this?

SilverStripe seems to tick every box you've mentioned.

It is an open source CMS, it can be headless, it uses a relational database, assets can use S3 with an official module and GraphQL support is another official module away.

I worked as a web developer where for 7 years this was our CMS of choice. That said, we were using one version back of SilverStripe where some of these features (S3 support and GraphQL) were either not possible or readily used.

I found and posted this new project, #golang based.
twitter.com/golangch/status/111509...

but it's RESTful API, not GraphQL

REST would work too if they provide "contract", like OpenAPI

Have you checked prime cms?
It's open source, GraphQL and Relational DB. (But still beta)
