The Wait Is Over. Try Acquia Right Now.

No forms. No sales calls. No "we'll get back to you."

Acquia Cloud Platform is now free to try. Sign up, and you'll have a real, running Drupal site in under two minutes. Today. For free.

This is the moment the Drupal community has been waiting for.

Stop Evaluating. Start Building.

Your free trial gives you the real thing: not a watered-down sandbox, not a guided demo, not a slideshow. A live 3-environment Acquia stack (Dev, Stage, Prod) with Cloud IDE, pre-loaded Drupal templates,Ready in the time it takes to grab a coffee.

And this isn't a solo exercise. Bring your developer, your DevOps lead, your stakeholder. Team seats are included from day one so your whole evaluation team can get hands on the platform together, not in sequence.

What's Waiting for You

Live Drupal site in under 2 minutes. The 5-step onboarding wizard gets you from sign-up to a running site faster than most tools take to load a dashboard.

Full 3-environment pipeline. Dev, Stage, and Prod from the start. Not a toy environment. The same workflow real Acquia teams use to build, review, and ship.

Cloud IDE in your browser. No local setup, no config headaches, no "works on my machine." Open it, code, and push all from the browser.

Starter Kit templates. Choose from three full-featured site starters, each pre-loaded with content structures, custom layouts, and industry-specific components. Haven is built for non-profits, wellness, and community organizations. Pulse is designed for content-driven platforms like healthcare, research, and digital publishing. Byte is tailored for SaaS and B2B product sites. Pick one and skip straight to building on top of a real, structured Drupal foundation.

Acquia Co-pilot built in. AI-powered support is available inside your trial from day one, not locked behind a paid tier. Ask questions, get unblocked, keep moving.

This Is Not a Sandbox. This Is Acquia.

Over 40,000 sites run on Acquia Cloud Platform, from global media companies to government agencies to some of the most complex Drupal implementations in the world. The infrastructure you're about to touch is the same infrastructure powering all of them.

Same Dev to Stage to Prod workflow. Same Cloud IDE. The same platform architecture that enterprise teams depend on. Acquia is built on a foundation of open source leadership. We're the largest contributor to Drupal core, and that investment shows up in every layer of the platform you're evaluating.

When your trial ends and you're ready to convert, you're not upgrading to something different. You're already there.

We didn't build a toy. We built a door, and it's wide open.
