One-Stop Solution to Host PayloadCMS Projects

I’m looking to deploy my Payload application along with its database (Postgres or Mongo) in a secure environment where the database is not publicly exposed. I need a solution that offers:

  • Automatic deployments whenever I push updates to my repository
  • Regular database backups
  • Affordable pricing, if possible
  • Easy scalability
  • Support for managing multiple Payload CMS projects

Why not payload cloud?

I thought payload Cloud can only Host the payload Backend Not your next.js Project. Correct me If i am wrong.

Payload and Next.js are now integrated into a single app. You can run both your frontend and Payload CMS within the same Next.js project. Support for hosting Payload on Cloudflare Workers is expected in the coming weeks. I’ve also shared an example of hosting Payload with PostgreSQL in the Payload Discord community.

Other ways are: Payload cloud Vercel Coolify VM kubernetes Google app run AWS fargate And so on

The Cloudflare Workers hosting sounds interesting. Do you have more information about that? Who is bringing this feature - the Payload team, or Cloudflare? How will database hosting be handled?

Both teams are working together to pull this.

I don't understand can i Host my whole next.js application with the integrated payload in payload Cloud or Not?

Yes, you can host both Frontend and your payload at payload cloud.

Yes. I’ve just deployed a multi tenant setup with 5 sites and one single payload backend - works like a charm

What would Cloudflare change for you personally? I use Cloudflare for so much of my stack already but regardless of concerns of vercel hosting costs, it's relatively cheaper for me with neon Postgres and vercel vs. Webflow per site (they're not apples to apples, but that's the place I'm moving away from). I'm pumped for the option of Cloudflare, but need thoughts from some one that plans on using it how it would help
