Today we’re announcing our biggest update to Craft Cloud since its launch in August of 2024.
This update checks off some of the most popular feature requests we have received since launch, including:
Redirects
Cloud now supports redirects without ever touching Craft. These are great for enforcing www. domains, normalizing trailing slashes, or preserving legacy URLs… and they complement Craft's native redirects.
CDN Rewrites
You can also define rewrites that serve assets and artifacts as though they were on the local filesystem. As a result, moving projects to Craft Cloud becomes even easier: references to static images, stylesheets, and scripts can be preserved with a single rewrite rule, instead of using cloud.artifactUrl.
It also means you can serve CDN assets through a dedicated domain, like cdn.mydomain.com or assets.mydomain.com.
Builder 2.0
We’ve rebuilt the builder!
What to expect:
- Faster and much more consistent deployments;
- Better log output and error messaging;
- Access to Node.js build artifacts from PHP (making it possible to include generated SVGs or CSS in your templates);
- Improved reliability and speed of CLI commands;
All new projects will use the new builder by default, and existing projects will be transitioned in the coming weeks. If you would like your project migrated before then, contact us with your project’s UUID.
Lots more…
- ESI (edge-side include) tags are now supported. (Stay tuned for a dedicated guide!)
- Automated database backups are now enabled on all your environments, not just production. (MySQL projects only; Postgres support coming soon!)
- MySQL database backups are now compressed with
gzip.

Thank you to all our beta testers—we’re thrilled to finally make these features available to everyone!
