Overview

Trigger, monitor, and manage frontend deployments directly from Directus.

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

Vercel

Connect Vercel projects and deploy from Directus.

Netlify

Connect Netlify sites and deploy from Directus.

Getting Started

  1. Enable the Deployment module in Settings > Modules
  2. Navigate to the Deployment module and configure your provider
  3. Select the projects you want to manage
  4. Start deploying

For provider-specific setup instructions, see the Vercel or Netlify integration guides.

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.
