Webflow Cloud

Webflow Cloud is a managed environment for running and deploying web applications within the Webflow ecosystem.

Webflow Cloud is a serverless hosting and deployment platform for full-stack web applications. Developers connect a GitHub repository and deploy apps built with frameworks such as Next.js or Astro as standalone projects or alongside a Webflow site. Multiple environments, runtime logs, and storage are integrated into the platform.

FAQ

Webflow Cloud

How strongly does Webflow Cloud tie an app to the platform?
The tie depends on the code. Standard frameworks and a Git repository keep an application largely portable, while platform-specific storage or runtime features increase dependency. For portability, platform services should be wrapped behind custom interfaces, which keeps a later change of hosting manageable.
Which applications can run on Webflow Cloud?
Full-stack applications built on common frameworks such as Next.js, for example customer portals, configurators, or dashboards. The prerequisites are a code repository and development skills on the team. For purely editorial pages this detour is unnecessary, since the Designer is sufficient.
When does Webflow Cloud beat a self-managed hosting setup?
It pays off when an application sits next to a Webflow site and server operations effort should stay low. A self-managed setup offers more control over infrastructure but demands maintenance and expertise. Compliance requirements, runtime needs, and existing operations skills are the deciding factors.
How does Webflow Cloud differ from Webflow hosting for websites?
Webflow Cloud runs custom applications with server logic, while classic hosting serves visually built websites. Applications exist as code in a repository and are deployed, not built in the Designer. The two can be combined, for example an application alongside a marketing site.
