Enterprise Drupal, Minus the Complexity

The complexity teams fear in Drupal is operational — patching, upgrades, scaling, 2 a.m. security. That is exactly the layer Acquia manages, increasingly automated by Acquia AI, while you keep the architecture you chose Drupal for.

  • Developer velocity: Integrated CI/CD, browser-based Cloud IDE, and quality gates — so teams ship instead of configuring toolchains.
  • Compliance inherited: FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 at the platform level, so your applications inherit the posture your industry requires.
  • Reliability at scale: Kubernetes-based auto-scaling on Acquia Cloud Next, multi-zone availability included, and a 99.95% uptime SLA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Acquia Cloud Platform is a cloud-native platform for enterprise Drupal. Acquia handles the infrastructure, security patching, Drupal updates, and scaling, so your team can build and ship. The team that helps build Drupal stands behind it.

Acquia manages the operating system, security patches, Drupal core and module updates, database maintenance, and auto-scaling. Your team owns the custom code, the content, and the experiences you build on top.

Every application gets development, staging, and production environments. You move code between them with a drag-and-drop interface, and files and databases can sync across environments automatically. Integrated CI/CD pipelines with automated quality gates and a browser-based Cloud IDE mean developers can start writing code without local setup.

Cloud Platform runs on Acquia Cloud Next, a Kubernetes-based infrastructure that responds to traffic spikes automatically, without manual intervention or capacity tickets. Multi-zone availability is included at no additional cost, and the contractual uptime SLA is 99.95%.

Cloud Platform is FedRAMP Authorized and carries HIPAA (with a BAA), PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 controls. Your team inherits these at the platform level instead of building them, and the documentation is available where your security team can find it. Coverage can vary by plan, so confirm the details for your organization with Acquia.

Drupal experts are available 24/7/365, and support covers the Drupal application itself, not only the infrastructure underneath it.

Yes. Drupal is API-first, and Cloud Platform supports headless builds. Acquia Front End Hosting is an add-on that hosts your JavaScript front end next to your Drupal back end. It requires an active Cloud Platform subscription and carries an additional cost.

Yes. The Cloud Platform trial is self-serve and free for two weeks, so you can test it with a real site or application.

Cloud Platform comes in four plans: Standard, Plus, Premium, and Elite. The right one depends on how many sites you run, your traffic, and your compliance and resilience requirements.
