A Complete Drupal Development Toolchain
Introducing the world's only full stack Drupal platform for development.
Code Studio makes building Drupal applications easy. Accelerate your production with a complete set of tools that enable your teams to plan, build, test, review, and deploy from a single, customizable workflow.

See how easy it is with Code Studio to automatically build, test and deploy your Drupal site every time you make a code change.
Acquia and Gitlab
Acquia has partnered with GitLab to offer Code Studio: a fully managed Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline optimized for Drupal. Acquia owns and automates the hard parts of Drupal development so you can stay focused on what's most valuable.
Powered by GitLab
Acquia hosts and manages Gitlab on our next generation infrastructure to bring you Code Studio. We've built Drupal specialized features on top of Gitlab to deliver our customers the best tools possible for Drupal development.
Auto Devops
Automatically build, test and deploy your Drupal applications with Acquia Code Studio managed CI pipelines. Your Drupal application will inherit Acquia’s configurable build pipeline, which will install dependencies, scan and test your code, create a review environment, and (when you’re ready) deploy straight to production.
Automatic Updates
Code Studio will automatically update your Composer packages, replace deprecated custom code, and submit those changes for you to review in a Merge Request with a dedicated review environment. When you’re ready, you can merge the changes with a single button click and our pipeline will send it off to production.
Unify Your Development Workflow
Developers can plan, build, test, review, and deploy to Acquia Cloud platform from a single, configurable workflow.
