Klee Group has published a comprehensive guide for starting Drupal 11 projects using Upsun Fixed, the rebranded and streamlined platform formerly known as Platform.sh.

The blog details how to configure a Drupal 11 project on Upsun Fixed, emphasising ease of use for beginners. The setup process includes defining your application in .platform.app.yaml, tuning PHP versions, enabling required extensions, and setting cron frequency—all optimised for Drupal 11's needs.

The guide also outlines essential services like MariaDB, Memcached, and Varnish, with preconfigured examples. Deployment is handled via hooks, which automate tasks such as dependency installation, configuration injection, and cache clearing. Key advice includes separating hooks into individual files for clarity and maintaining secure default configurations.
