Cloud Platform supports development and management of Drupal and Node.js applications. Within Cloud Platform, Node.js provides a comprehensive set of tools to enhance your decoupled or headless Drupal applications. It also helps to create decoupled or headless Node.js applications that fetch data from Drupal or function as standalone static sites. Acquia offers the following front-end hosting options:

*   Node.js Classic for Cloud Classic environments
*   Front End Hosting - Basic for Cloud Next environments
