Bring the framework you already use.

Configure any project that produces static files. These common frameworks work with their static output modes.

What you can manage

The controls available in your dashboard.

Repository builds

Connect GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or a public Git repository. Set the branch, root directory, build command, and output directory.

Controlled deployments

Deploy the latest or a specific commit, follow live build logs, review deployment history, and clear the build cache when needed.

Domains and HTTPS

Every project receives a Darwa endpoint. Add a verified custom domain and see its certificate and routing state in the dashboard.

GitHub previews

Create pull-request previews manually or automatically, filter them by label or base branch, and set expiry and active-preview limits.

Cache controls

Choose no cache, static-assets cache, or aggressive cache. Frontend Cloud respects the Cache-Control headers produced by your application.

Usage and budgets

Track transfer, requests, build minutes, and storage. Set usage alerts and a monthly budget, or pause new builds at the limit.

Project operations

View deployments, events, logs, metrics, variables and secrets, domains, previews, alerts, maintenance, access, and usage.

Plan safety

Plan changes use Stripe-hosted payment. Your current plan remains active unless payment for the change is confirmed.

Getting live

From repository to a live URL in five steps.

The same sequence you follow in the dashboard. Every choice can be changed later without recreating the project.

  1. 01

    Connect the repository

    Authorise GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, or point at a public Git URL, then pick the branch to deploy.

  2. 02

    Configure the build

    Set the root directory, build command, and output directory. Defaults are detected from the project where possible.

  3. 03

    Deploy and watch the log

    Darwa installs dependencies, runs the build, and publishes the output directory while you follow the live build log.

  4. 04

    Add your domain

    Every project gets a Darwa endpoint immediately. Add a custom domain and TLS is issued and renewed for you.

  5. 05

    Set alerts and a budget

    Choose a usage-alert threshold and an optional monthly budget that can pause new builds instead of billing overage.

Choosing the right product

Frontend Cloud serves static output.

That constraint is deliberate: a build that compiles to files is cheap to serve globally and has almost nothing to break at runtime. When you need a running process, another Darwa product fits better.

Use Frontend Cloud

React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Astro, exported Next.js, documentation sites, marketing sites, and dashboards that talk to an API.

Create a project

Use Web Services

An API, a server-rendered application, WebSockets, or anything needing a process that stays running and scales independently.

View Web Services

Use Web Hosting

WordPress, PHP, or a Node.js website that wants bundled mailboxes, MySQL, and daily backups on one plan.

Frontend Cloud plans

Choose capacity for one frontend project.

Frontend Cloud FAQ

The questions people ask first.

Build settings, previews, caching, usage limits, and when another Darwa product is the better choice.

What is Darwa Frontend Cloud?

Frontend Cloud builds a frontend project from your Git repository and publishes the compiled output to a global content delivery network. It suits React, exported Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Astro, and any project that produces static files. Each subscription covers one project.

Which Git providers can I deploy from?

Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, or deploy from a public Git repository URL. You choose the branch, and you can deploy the latest commit or a specific commit.

What build settings can I control?

You set the branch, the root directory for a project inside a monorepo, the build command, and the output directory that gets published. You can also clear the build cache when a dependency change needs a clean build.

Does Frontend Cloud support monorepos?

Yes. Set the root directory to the sub-path that contains the frontend project, and Darwa runs the build from there rather than the repository root.

How do pull-request previews work?

Previews can be created automatically or manually, and filtered by pull-request label or base branch. Previews expire after 72 hours by default, and up to 3 can be active at once — configurable up to 20 — so open pull requests cannot quietly consume your build minutes.

Do I get a free domain and HTTPS?

Yes. Every project receives a Darwa endpoint as soon as it deploys. Add a verified custom domain and TLS certificates are issued and renewed automatically, with the certificate and routing state visible in the dashboard.

What caching options are available?

Three edge cache profiles: no cache, static assets only, or aggressive. Frontend Cloud also respects the Cache-Control headers your build emits, so an application that already sets its own caching policy keeps it.

How is usage measured and can I cap the bill?

Transfer, requests, build minutes, and storage are metered against your plan's allowance. You can set a usage-alert threshold — 80% by default — and an optional monthly budget. With budget pausing enabled, Darwa stops starting new builds at the limit rather than accruing overage.

What happens if I exceed the included allowance?

Each plan publishes a per-unit overage rate for transfer, requests, build minutes, and storage. The dashboard shows current usage against the allowance before any overage applies, and a monthly budget can pause new builds instead.

Can Frontend Cloud host a server-rendered app or an API?

No. Frontend Cloud publishes compiled static output, so it cannot run a server process, server-side rendering at request time, or API routes. Use Darwa Web Services for a continuously running application or API, and Web Hosting for PHP, WordPress, and Node.js websites.

How does Frontend Cloud compare to Vercel and Netlify?

All three build from Git and serve from a global edge network with pull-request previews and managed TLS. Frontend Cloud is deliberately scoped to static output, and it sits in the same workspace and invoice as Darwa databases, object storage, background workers, and business email. If you need serverless or edge functions, image optimisation, or request-time server rendering, those platforms cover cases Frontend Cloud does not.

Can I move a project from another host without downtime?

Yes. Connect the repository and deploy to the Darwa endpoint while your current host still serves live traffic. Verify the build, then point your domain at Darwa; TLS is issued once the domain resolves.

Which frameworks work with Darwa frontend hosting?

Frontend hosting supports static output from React, exported Next.js, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Astro, and other generators. That makes the service suitable for React app hosting, Next.js hosting for static exports, Vue app hosting, Astro hosting, and framework-independent static site hosting.

Is Frontend Cloud a Jamstack hosting and edge deployment platform?

Yes for static output. Darwa is a Jamstack hosting and edge deployment platform that builds from Git and publishes compiled assets to a global CDN. It does not run request-time server rendering or edge functions; those workloads belong on Web Services or Web Hosting.

Can I deploy a static site free?

Yes. You can deploy a static site free on the available Frontend Cloud free tier, connect the repository, and test the generated Darwa endpoint before choosing a paid plan. Current transfer, request, build-minute, and storage allowances are shown in the pricing table.

Does every project include global CDN hosting?

Yes. Global CDN hosting is the delivery layer for every Frontend Cloud project. Darwa builds the selected commit, publishes the output directory, applies the configured cache policy, and serves it over managed HTTPS from the project endpoint or your verified custom domain.
