Servd — Managed Hosting for Craft CMS

Reference for Servd (servd.host), a Craft-specialised managed hosting platform. Covers git push-to-deploy and the servd.yaml build config, the local → staging → production workflow, the servd/craft-asset-storage plugin, Servd's static caching (and running Blitz alongside it), databases over SSH, backups, the queue runner, the ephemeral filesystem, and how Servd differs from Craft Cloud.

This skill is scoped to Servd specifically — what's different on Servd vs running Craft yourself on Forge or bare metal, and vs Pixel & Tonic's Craft Cloud. For generic Craft deployment, see the craftcms skill's deployment.md. For Craft Cloud, see the craft-cloud skill.

Companion Skills — Load When Needed

• craftcms — When the Servd topic intersects plugin or module PHP (ephemeral-filesystem guards, queue-job design, asset filesystem code).
• craft-site — When Servd intersects front-end templating ({% dynamicInclude %} islands in cached pages, transform usage, CSRF in cached forms).
• ddev — For local development; Servd has no first-party local environment, so DDEV is the standard local stack.
• craft-php-guidelines — When editing plugin PHP to add ephemeral-filesystem checks.
