What does flat-like means here? Are they talking about the design (flat) ?

It’s referring to how posts are stored serverside. CMS software such as Drupal, Wordpress, etc. store posts in a database. A flat-file CMS stores posts in a file, making editing and creating posts easier. Also saves on the hassle of securing an admin dashboard.
