Original Source

If your frontend is statically generated or server-rendered using Directus as a content source, publishing content changes in Directus doesn't automatically rebuild your site. The Deployment module closes that gap - connect your hosting provider, select projects, then trigger builds and monitor deployment status without leaving Directus.

Key Features

  • Trigger deployments for any connected project with one click
  • Real-time status updates via provider webhooks
  • Build logs with search and filtering
  • Deployment history with stats and duration tracking
  • Role-based access control using native Directus permissions

Supported Providers

::card-group

:::card{title="Vercel" icon="simple-icons:vercel" to="/guides/integrations/vercel"} Connect Vercel projects and deploy from Directus. :::

:::card{title="Netlify" icon="simple-icons:netlify" to="/guides/integrations/netlify"} Connect Netlify sites and deploy from Directus. :::

  2. Navigate to the Deployment module and configure your provider

Security

The Deployment module uses Directus native permissions to control who can view, trigger, and manage deployments. See Security for details on access control and credential protection.
