Developing applications on Acquia Cloud
After you have created or imported an application on Acquia Cloud, you can use the
powerful features of the Acquia platform to develop, test, maintain, and update
your website, including the Acquia Cloud interface, the Cloud API, Drush, and more.
The principal parts of a Drupal application are the following:
- Codebase – Drupal’s core modules,
contributed modules, and your custom code
- Database – Stores the application’s
content and configuration
- Files – Images, digital assets, and
user-uploaded files
Using the Acquia Cloud interface, you can manage the development and testing of
these elements on your Development and Staging environments before deploying
them to your live application in the Production environment.
These topics can help guide you as you use Acquia Cloud for your application
