DriftSync Cloud
DriftSync Cloud is an optional, Pro-only control plane at cloud.driftsyncwp.com. It hosts the shared library, approvals, and audit for a team, coordinates fan-outs across a fleet, and adds AI diff assistance. It is a layer on top of the plugin — it never gates the core loop.
Pro
Cloud requires DriftSync Pro and is entirely opt-in. Every site can export, dry-run diff, apply, snapshot, and roll back with no account and no connection to Cloud. Turning Cloud off removes coordination features, never the loop.What Cloud adds
- Shared library, approvals & audit — the hosted home for your versioned bundles, approval gates, and shared audit trail.
- Async handoff mailbox — a place to leave a release for a site (or a teammate) to pick up later. The sites never need to be online at the same moment: the source drops a bundle in the mailbox and the target pulls it when it next checks in.
- Fan-out status board — the fleet-wide view of a multi-site fan-out: which sites are pending, diffed, applied, or failed, all in one place.
- AI diff assistance — an assistant that summarises a dry-run diff in plain language and flags changes worth a closer look, so a large release is quicker to review. It advises; it never applies anything on its own.
The async handoff mailbox
Direct connections need both sites reachable at once. The mailbox removes that constraint: a source publishes a release to its mailbox, and each target pulls, diffs, snapshots, and applies on its own schedule. It suits sites behind firewalls, sites in different maintenance windows, or a hand-off from one person to another across time zones.
How the plugin connects
A Pro site links to Cloud with an account token you generate in the dashboard. Once connected, the site can publish to and pull from the shared library and mailbox, and appears on the fleet status board. The connection is a convenience for coordination — the site keeps applying releases through the same loop it always has.
Note
Cloud coordinates which bundle goes where. It does not apply changes for you: every target still runs its own dry-run diff and takes a snapshot before writing, and stays one click from a rollback.Getting started with Cloud
Sign in or create an account at cloud.driftsyncwp.com with your Pro license, connect a site, and publish your first bundle to the shared library. From there, set up approvals and a fan-out group to release to your fleet.
