Introduction
Droplet is a modern developer platform for building, deploying, and managing web applications through one focused workflow.
Droplet uses Cloudflare infrastructure behind the scenes. Depending on your application stack and plan, deployments use Pages or Workers as the compute engine.
What is Droplet?
Droplet is a platform for deploying and managing web applications with zero infrastructure overhead. Connect your Git repository, and every push to your production branch triggers an automatic build and deployment. Preview URLs are created for every other branch automatically.
Key features
- Instant deployments — push to Git, go live in seconds
- Global delivery — serve applications close to your users
- Application storage — manage R2-backed object storage from the portal
- Preview deployments — every branch gets its own URL
- Built-in cache — configurable edge caching out of the box
- Custom domains — free SSL for any domain you connect
Who is Droplet for?
Droplet is designed for developers and teams who want managed application delivery without having to assemble the underlying infrastructure themselves. It's ideal for:
- Frontend and full-stack applications (Next.js, Remix, SvelteKit, Nuxt)
- Static sites and Jamstack projects
- Teams that need preview URLs and branch-based deployments
- Projects that need globally fast, low-latency delivery
