The Drupal Developer Experience Handled
Two Cloud Platform capabilities that remove setup and hosting friction: Acquia Cloud IDE and Acquia Front End Hosting. Build in minutes, and host your headless front end where your Drupal already lives.
Two Tools. One Platform Relationship.
Acquia Cloud IDE
Start building Drupal in minutes, not days. A browser-based, Drupal-optimized IDE with the full toolchain pre-configured — no local setup, no admin rights, no firewall exceptions.
Acquia Front End Hosting
Host Next.js, React, and Vue front ends on the same platform as your Drupal back end — SSR, ISR, auto-scaling, and CDN delivery included.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Acquia Cloud IDE is a browser-based, Drupal-optimized development environment. It opens with the full toolchain already configured, so you can pull code, files, and a database from any environment and start building.
-
A browser. Cloud IDE does not require local setup, admin rights, or firewall exceptions.
-
A local setup depends on each developer's machine, which can take hours or weeks to configure. Cloud IDE gives every developer the same environment, with PHP and database configuration that matches production. Most developers are productive in five to 15 minutes.
-
Acquia Front End Hosting runs your headless front end beside your Drupal back end. It supports front ends built with Next.js, React, or Vue.
-
Server-side rendering (SSR) builds each page per request, which allows personalization. Incremental static regeneration (ISR) serves static pages for speed and regenerates selected pages when content changes. Front End Hosting supports both and clears the cache automatically on deploy.
-
Yes. Front End Hosting is Drupal-connected by design. Your front end and your Drupal back end live on one platform, with one set of environments and one operating relationship.
-
Both capabilities are part of your Acquia Cloud Platform relationship. Developer tooling will join the Acquia Source command center next.
