Deploy Drupal
Run Drupal with Wodby’s ready-to-run managed stack. Launch production environments faster, standardize deployments, and keep day-to-day operations simpler while relying on industry-standard infrastructure under the hood.
Launch production-ready Drupal faster
Start from a managed Drupal stack instead of assembling services, ingress, build pipelines, and runtime settings by hand.
Use a managed Drupal deployment model
Give your Drupal team a ready-to-run stack with preconfigured infrastructure, scaling controls, and a cleaner deployment workflow.
Keep updates, backups, and SSL under control
Use built-in platform features for releases, certificates, backups, and recurring tasks so your team can focus on Drupal delivery.
A modern deployment model for Drupal
Drupal teams need predictable deployments, easier scaling, better workload isolation, and infrastructure they can standardize across environments as projects grow.
Wodby makes that practical by packaging Drupal as a managed stack on top of industry-standard Kubernetes and K3S foundations, so agencies and in-house teams get a modern platform model without turning every project into a platform engineering effort.
A practical fit for Drupal workloads
- Separate web, PHP, cache, and database concerns into managed services.
- Scale horizontally for traffic spikes, launches, and editorial campaigns.
- Standardize staging and production around the same deployment model.
- Reduce custom operations work around routing, certificates, backups, and releases.
What you get with Wodby
- Managed Drupal stack for modern container-based deployments
- Built-in CI/CD and image build workflow
- Automated backups and imports for safer releases and migrations
- Managed SSL certificates and domain setup
- Flexible scaling and resource controls
- Open, portable infrastructure via Wodby’s platform model
How Drupal deployment works on Wodby
- 1
Choose the infrastructure model that fits: managed Kubernetes from your preferred provider or a lean K3S setup for lower-cost environments.
- 2
Create a new app from the Drupal stack and connect your repository.
- 3
Configure services, domains, environment variables, persistent volumes, and databases.
- 4
Deploy changes through the built-in CI/CD workflow and scale when traffic grows.

Suitable for agencies, product teams, and Drupal specialists
If you manage multiple Drupal sites, need repeatable environments, or want to modernize delivery without becoming a full-time platform team, this setup is built for that use case.
Wodby gives you a consistent way to deploy Drupal across projects while keeping room for customization through services, integrations, and Kubernetes-native infrastructure where it adds value.
Drupal CMS 2.0 build template
Wodby’s default Drupal build template is based on Drupal CMS 2.0. You can clone the public template, use it as a starting point, and customize it for your project instead of assembling a new baseline from scratch.
If you prefer a leaner starting point, you can also deploy vanilla Drupal with the same Wodby stack and infrastructure model.
Choose the hosting model that fits your team
Run Wodby on your own managed Kubernetes, on a lean K3s server, or on fully managed Wodby Cloud.
Managed Kubernetes in your cloud account
Connect AWS, GCP, DigitalOcean, Azure, or another supported provider and let Wodby provision and manage the cluster setup in your own account.
View managed KubernetesBudget single-server setup with K3s
Run a lightweight Kubernetes setup on a dedicated server or VM when you want the Wodby workflow with lower infrastructure cost.
Explore K3s hostingFully managed Wodby Cloud
Use Wodby Cloud when you want Wodby to handle the underlying cluster and infrastructure as a managed service.
See Wodby CloudFull-text search with Solr Cloud
The Drupal stack comes with a Solr Cloud setup (Solr + ZooKeeper) for full-text search.
Use the Search API Solr module to connect Drupal to that setup and build searchable content experiences without provisioning the search layer separately.

Caching with Vinyl and Redis
The Drupal stack includes Vinyl (Varnish) Cache and Redis as built-in services. Use Vinyl for straightforward page and HTTP caching in front of Drupal.
Redis can store Drupal internal cache faster than the database, which helps reduce database load and improves response times for cache-heavy workloads.

See what our customers say about their experience with Wodby.
We moved our Drupal hosting to use Wodby and changed our development workflow to use Docker at the same time. Now we can concentrate on Drupal development and we're not losing time configuring servers etc. When a site needs additional resources or hosting in a different region we can be way more responsive as deploying a new instance takes no time at all.
Tony MillerDirector at Eighty Options
Wodby’s innovative infrastructure helped us to increase the speed and simplify our app deployment, while also leaving us the freedom of handling our hosting and not locking us on a specific pattern. We are now much more robust for future growth and will be able to innovate faster.
Martin Normann LundCTO at Ramsalt Lab
Wodby has proven to be an invaluable tool for Druid. It offers cost-effective solutions for our smaller customers, and its self-service dashboard empowers us to efficiently handle operations independently, reducing our reliance on support. We highly recommend Wodby for its user-friendly approach and cost-efficiency.

Keep local Drupal environments consistent with Docker
Use Wodby’s open source Docker4Drupal project to spin up a consistent local Drupal environment with Docker Compose before you deploy to Wodby. It is designed for local development across Linux, macOS, and Windows, which makes onboarding and day-to-day development more predictable.
That gives teams a cleaner path from local work to managed deployments: develop against a repeatable containerized stack locally, then move to Wodby for production infrastructure, CI/CD, backups, certificates, and scaling.
