| Cloud PostgreSQL | Disabled by default |
Explore the full stack service catalog for configs, settings, actions, cron, volumes, links, backups, and imports attached to each service in this stack.
Dev workspaces
Keep a persistent checkout alongside your app services. Connect over SSH, use Wodby Agent, or bring Codex or Claude Code to the same workspace. Each service below defines how it uses your code.
Source checkout & SSH runner
Workspace availability is checked when you create an environment and depends on the selected services, versions, and cluster. Supporting services without source code, such as databases and caches, keep their normal runtime. Paths with settings placeholders are resolved from your environment configuration.
Deploy
The application stack stays the same whether you choose Wodby’s managed cloud, infrastructure in your cloud account, or a server you operate yourself.
Start without running a cluster in your own account when you want the most managed option.
Keep the underlying infrastructure in your own cloud account while Wodby deploys and operates the application stack.
Run the same application stack on a VM, bare-metal server, or dedicated host when that model fits your workload.
Explore hosting options for this stack to compare managed cloud, customer-cloud, and server-based deployment models in more detail.
CI/CD
Python can build from source as part of this stack.
Start from a compatible public boilerplate or connect your own repository from a supported Git provider. External CI and registry integrations still fit the same stack-aware build and release flow.
Release safety
Run post-deploy scripts
Run migrations, cache clears, and other jobs after a successful deployment.
Recover from rollout failures
Try to restore the last successful release when health checks fail.
Restore a previous build
Redeploy an eligible build from history without rebuilding it.
Build rollback restores application images, not stack configuration or persistent data.
Public boilerplates

Explore CI/CD for this stack for boilerplates, Git connections, post-deployment scripts, deployment history, rollback controls, CI providers, and registries.
Routing and endpoints
Services in this stack declare the endpoints and ports they can expose. Each app environment can start on default technical domains, then add custom domains, HTTPS, access controls, redirects, or published TCP and UDP ports as needed.
Default technical domains
Reach supported services on generated Wodby domains, then attach custom domains when ready.
Automatic Let's Encrypt HTTPS
Provision and automatically renew trusted certificates for supported public routes.
Authentication and route controls
Protect routes with HTTP basic auth, redirect alternate domains or paths, and tune HSTS, no-index, upload limits, and more.
Explore routing and endpoints to see technical routes, custom domains, managed certificates, route controls, redirects, and published ports.
Private app access
Choose private app access during app creation to keep every eligible HTTP endpoint behind an approved identity or private network. Protect the complete app, or only admin, staging, dashboard, and other restricted web surfaces.
Publish behind a Cloudflare Access identity policy or keep endpoints inside a Cloudflare One private network.
Give authorized tailnet users and devices stable private HTTPS addresses for the app.
Explore private app access to compare identity-aware access through Cloudflare Access with private-network access through Cloudflare One or Tailscale.
Databases
This stack can run container-based databases such as PostgreSQL and also connect to managed database services such as Cloud PostgreSQL.
Container databases in this stack
Managed database integrations
Explore database options for this stack for container services, managed providers, and the connection model used by this stack.
Backups
Container-based services in this stack can run automatic backups, upload archives to connected cloud storage, and import working data into other environments when teams need realistic copies.
Run automatic backups on a schedule
Keep backup workflows attached to the stack instead of rebuilding them manually for each environment.
Refresh development and staging
Import an archive, uploaded file, or URL to create realistic non-production data.
Upload backup archives to cloud storage
Send backup archives to third-party storage instead of keeping them only inside the platform.
Services with backup workflows
Backup storage integrations
Explore backups and migration workflows for archive destinations, restore paths, and ways to move working data onto Wodby.
Mailpit catches outbound mail in development environments, while OpenSMTPD relays real email through trusted SMTP providers when you are ready to deliver it.
Trusted SMTP providers
Explore email delivery for this stack for development mail capture, SMTP relays, and provider-backed delivery.
Integrations
Attach reusable integrations to the stack so every new app environment starts with the same external connections, variables, and credentials instead of copying values by hand.
That includes product integrations like Algolia, AWS, Anthropic, Auth0, and Brevo, and others.
Bring API keys and model settings into your apps without scattering secrets.
Standardize AI credentials once and reuse them across environments.
Manage customer messaging credentials centrally and reuse them across environments.
Attach monitoring variables cleanly to services without editing code.
Keep payment-related secrets controlled and consistent per environment.
Keep email marketing keys and audience settings consistent without scattering config.
Explore all integrations for this stack to browse email relays, storage, CI/CD, Git, managed databases, registries, and variable-based providers.
Configuration and customization
Tune the config files and settings exposed by each service without changing its image or rebuilding the stack. Start from the stack defaults, then override only what a particular environment needs.
Explore configs and settings to see exactly what can be customized for each service in this stack.
Git-managed configuration
Store the application blueprint in a stack.yml template alongside your code. Version service definitions, defaults, settings, and environment behavior while Wodby turns approved source changes into controlled stack revisions.
Version the application blueprint
Review stack configuration through commits and pull requests before it reaches an environment.
Import updates as new revisions
Follow an approved branch or semantic-version tags without changing running app environments in place.
Keep service updates enabled
Control Git template updates and service auto-updates separately, so customized stacks can still receive eligible releases.
Explore Git-backed stacks and see how they work with automatic updates.
Security and maintenance
Enable service auto-updates at stack level to pick up eligible security patches and maintenance releases. Wodby creates a new stack revision instead of changing running app environments in place, so every update stays visible and reviewable.
Choose which app environments should auto-upgrade and limit production rollouts to a local-time maintenance window. Development and staging can move sooner while production follows your security and maintenance policy.
Explore automatic updates to see how policies, revisions, maintenance windows, and app environment auto-upgrades work.
Observability and debugging
Keep the signals and tools for day-to-day troubleshooting close to each app environment, from a quick health check to direct inspection inside a running container.
Follow app service output in real time and select a specific workload or container when a service exposes more than one.
Inspect app environment and service metrics for CPU, memory, storage, readiness, and restarts before changing resources or scaling.
Open an interactive shell in a running service container for quick inspection and one-off commands without exposing a public SSH port.
Explore observability for logs and metrics, or review service configuration for web terminal access and other runtime operations.

FAQ
Python application stack for custom web apps, APIs, workers, and automation services. App environments created from this stack inherit the services enabled by default, attached integrations, hosting options, and stack revision history.
You can reuse the same stack for multiple similar apps and for development, staging, production, and other environment types. The stack defines the shared services and defaults, you can set different values for env types such as dev and prod, and each app environment can still be configured individually.
When an included service gets an update, the stack can be marked as outdated or create a new revision automatically under its update policy. Existing app environments stay on their current revision until you upgrade them manually or enable stack auto-upgrades with a maintenance window.
Use the Integrations section to attach reusable connections created from supported providers. That keeps SMTP relays, backup storage, managed databases, and other external services connected to the stack instead of configuring them separately for every app environment.
Review the stack’s CI/CD options for compatible boilerplates, Git providers, and repository-based pipelines, including post-deployment scripts and rollback controls.
You can also use the public wodby/wodby-ci repository as a starting point or reference.
If you prefer your own CI system, run Wodby CLI from GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar. It reads your stack information and performs the build, push, and deploy steps for connected services.
Yes. Development and production app environments from the same stack can run on different hosting models, including Wodby Cloud, managed Kubernetes, and self-hosted Kubernetes on a VM or dedicated server, while keeping the same stack definition and upgrade path.
