Craft Cloud: A Seamless Hosting Experience for Craft CMS

In this episode, Thomas interviews Brandon and Brad from Pixel and Tonic. They discuss the release of Craft CMS 5 and the positive reception and adoption it has received. 

They also discuss the new features and improvements in Craft CMS 5.3, including the link field and CLI commands for content model management. 

The conversation also touches on Craft Cloud. Craft Cloud is a new hosting service offered by Pixel & Tonic, the creators of Craft CMS. It is designed to provide a seamless hosting experience for Craft CMS websites, with features such as on-demand image transforms, automatic static caching, and a streamlined build pipeline. 

Craft Cloud aims to solve the pain points of traditional hosting providers by offering reliable hosting, integrated support, and a single vendor for both the CMS and hosting. The service has been in development for six years and should become a significant financial pillar for Pixel & Tonic. While there is competition in the hosting market, Craft Cloud differentiates itself by being a first-party solution with deep integration with Craft CMS.
