Figma Make gets a real backend. Payload, the open-source CMS Figma brought in last year, now powers data-backed apps straight from a prototype, with content that stays bound to your design system.

At the first Config India in Bengaluru, Dylan Field framed the launches around two ways of building: building to think and building to ship. Code layers go to open beta, Specs bring Markdown to the canvas, design systems get guidelines and code sources, and Make can scaffold a Payload backend. ​“Don’t delegate your thinking to AI. You need to think.”
