Nice things
- Looks like you can style the UI with custom css to make the dashboard your own.
- version history (limited to 7 days for base plan can be up to a year)
- validation
- custom fields
- some plugins already built
Portable Text and Blocks
https://www.sanity.io/guides/introduction-to-portable-text
- Can have rich text but clean json to iterate over.
- Can have relationships to images or other content inline
Hosting
https://www.sanity.io/docs/deployment
- Option to self host
Datasets
https://www.sanity.io/docs/datasets
Looks like you would want a qa data set to play with in a safe env. Can probably swap these nicely with env variables.

Questions
Can images be uploaded to / search from existing AWS S3 bucket?
Maybe using this: https://www.sanity.io/plugins/s3-dam

Looks like gifs are not as robust as with imgix.
Though Sanity lets you import a wide range of image formats like TIFF and SVG our currently supported image formats for processed output are: JPEG, PNG and WebP.
GIF and SVG pass through the image pipeline untouched, but if you want them scaled they will need to be output as one of the three formats above.
