Deploy WordPress on Kubernetes
Run WordPress on Kubernetes with Wodby’s managed WordPress stack. Standardize deployments on industry-standard infrastructure, keep environments predictable, and scale without rebuilding the platform around every project.
Deploy WordPress faster with a managed stack
Start from a WordPress stack built for Kubernetes instead of piecing together services, deployment logic, and runtime configuration manually.
Use Kubernetes with a managed WordPress stack
Give your team a ready-to-run WordPress stack with preconfigured infrastructure, scaling controls, and a deployment model built around Kubernetes.
Keep operations simpler across multiple sites
Use built-in releases, backups, SSL, and environment management so your team can handle WordPress hosting with less repetitive infrastructure work.
Why run WordPress on Kubernetes?
Kubernetes gives WordPress 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 WordPress as a managed stack, so teams can adopt Kubernetes without turning every project into a platform engineering effort.
A practical fit for WordPress workloads
- Keep web, PHP runtime, cache, and database services organized in a managed stack.
- Scale for traffic spikes, campaigns, and content-heavy workloads more cleanly.
- Use a repeatable deployment model across staging and production environments.
- Reduce manual work around SSL, backups, upgrades, and infrastructure operations.
What you get with Wodby
- Managed WordPress 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

Suitable for agencies, publishers, and multi-site WordPress hosting
If you manage multiple WordPress sites, need repeatable hosting environments, or want a more scalable deployment model, this setup is built for that pattern.
Wodby gives WordPress 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 WordPress on Kubernetes?
Use Wodby to run WordPress with managed stack components, integrated delivery, and a workflow your team can repeat across environments.
Modern WordPress deployment with Composer
For teams that want a more modern and repeatable way to manage WordPress, Wodby also supports a Composer-based deployment workflow.
Use Wodby’s WordPress Composer boilerplate as a starting point to keep WordPress core, plugins, themes, and project code under version control with a more modern, repeatable deployment 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.

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.

Caching with Vinyl
The WordPress stack includes Vinyl (Varnish) Cache as a built-in service for straightforward page and HTTP caching in front of WordPress.
That helps reduce response times and absorb traffic spikes more efficiently without forcing WordPress and PHP to handle every anonymous request directly.

Keep moving
Explore the WordPress setup, then start your own deployment
Once you've reviewed the stack structure, create an account to launch WordPress, connect your repository, and keep delivery inside the same workflow.
Object caching with Redis
The stack also includes Redis for object caching. Connect WordPress to Redis with a compatible Redis object cache plugin to reduce repeated database work and improve performance for cache-heavy sites.
This is especially useful for dynamic WordPress workloads where faster object caching can lower database load and make the application more responsive under sustained traffic.

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 WordPress environments consistent with Docker
Use Wodby’s Docker4WordPress project to spin up a consistent local WordPress environment with Docker Compose before you deploy to Wodby. It gives agencies and site teams a repeatable setup for local development across Linux, macOS, and Windows.
That keeps the path from local work to managed hosting cleaner: develop against a containerized WordPress stack locally, then deploy to Wodby for production infrastructure, CI/CD, backups, certificates, and scaling.
