Deploy PHP on Kubernetes
Run PHP on Kubernetes with Wodby’s managed PHP stack. Standardize deployments on industry-standard infrastructure, keep environments predictable, and scale without rebuilding the platform around every project.
Start from a managed PHP stack
Deploy PHP applications without assembling the full stack yourself from separate services, deployment steps, and environment settings.
Use Kubernetes with a managed PHP stack
Give your team a ready-to-run PHP stack with preconfigured infrastructure, scaling controls, and a deployment model built around Kubernetes.
Simplify day-to-day operations
Use built-in deployment tooling, backups, SSL, and infrastructure features so PHP teams spend less time on repetitive operations.
Why run PHP applications on Kubernetes?
Kubernetes gives PHP 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 PHP as a managed stack, so teams can adopt Kubernetes without turning every project into a platform engineering effort.
A practical fit for custom PHP workloads
- Keep web, PHP runtime, cache, and database services organized in one stack.
- Scale PHP applications and supporting services as workload demands change.
- Use the same deployment model across development, staging, and production.
- Reduce custom work around SSL, backups, infrastructure updates, and releases.
What you get with Wodby
- Managed PHP 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 PHP 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 PHP 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 services as requirements grow.

Suitable for custom PHP projects and multi-app environments
If you deploy multiple PHP applications, need a repeatable stack, or want to move to Kubernetes without rebuilding your hosting model from scratch, this setup fits that need.
Wodby gives PHP 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 PHP on Kubernetes?
Use Wodby to run PHP with managed stack components, integrated delivery, and a workflow your team can repeat across environments.
Keep local PHP environments consistent with Docker
Use Wodby’s Docker4PHP project to spin up a consistent local PHP environment with Docker Compose before you deploy to Wodby. It is built for local development across Linux, macOS, and Windows, so teams can standardize how custom PHP applications run on developer machines.
That makes the move from local development to managed hosting more predictable: work against a repeatable PHP stack locally, then deploy on Wodby with CI/CD, backups, certificates, and scalable infrastructure already in place.
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.

Run a lightweight Kubernetes setup on a dedicated server or VM when you want the Wodby workflow with lower infrastructure cost.

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.

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.

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.
