Deploy Drupal on Kubernetes
Run Drupal on Kubernetes with Wodby’s managed Drupal stack. Standardize deployments on industry-standard infrastructure, keep environments predictable, and scale without rebuilding the platform around every project.
Launch production-ready Drupal faster
Start from a managed Drupal stack instead of assembling services, ingress, build pipelines, and runtime settings by hand.
Use Kubernetes with a managed Drupal stack
Give your team a ready-to-run Drupal stack with preconfigured infrastructure, scaling controls, and a deployment model built around Kubernetes.
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.
Why run Drupal on Kubernetes?
Kubernetes gives Drupal teams a stronger foundation for modern delivery with predictable deployments, easier scaling, better workload isolation, and infrastructure you can standardize across environments.
Wodby keeps that model practical by packaging Drupal as a managed stack, so teams can adopt Kubernetes 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 Kubernetes-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 a Kubernetes cluster from your preferred provider or use a Wodby-managed option.
- 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 Drupal teams a managed stack on Kubernetes while keeping room for customization through services, integrations, and Kubernetes-native infrastructure.
Deploy on Kubernetes
Need a faster way to deploy Drupal on Kubernetes?
Use Wodby to run Drupal with managed stack components, integrated delivery, and a workflow your team can repeat across environments.
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 K3sFully managed Wodby Cloud
Use Wodby Cloud when you want the cluster hosted by Wodby instead of in your own cloud account or on your own server.

Connect popular services once, attach them where they are needed, and manage configuration centrally instead of chasing secrets and variables across projects.
Control integrations without losing flexibility
- Organize third-party connections in one place across all of your apps.
- Keep credentials out of repositories and under tighter operational control.
- Override values per environment without rebuilding or reworking each app.

Full-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.

Keep moving
Explore the Drupal setup, then start your own deployment
Once you've reviewed the stack structure, create an account to launch Drupal, connect your repository, and keep delivery inside the same workflow.
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.
Trusted by developers and businesses worldwide since 2015
Wodby is a reliable cloud infrastructure partner for your business.
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 MillerEighty 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.

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.
