Save Time and Strengthen Security with Automation

How much time is your team spending on manual website updates and testing? Pantheon customers save on average 50 hours a month with Autopilot. Additional benefits:

  • Increase developer efficiency
  • Scale open-source CMS
  • Optimize for experience

How it Works

  1. Autopilot automatically detects and applies updates for your CMS, theme, and extensions.
  2. Visual regression testing (VRT) checks for errors before deploying to your chosen environment. Autopilot will alert you if an issue is detected.
  3. You decide where to deploy and how often.

Autopilot Benefits

Manage innovation instead of maintenance

Automate Developer Efficiency

Streamline the web operations process for updates with pre-configured automation and desired frequency from detection to deployment.

Open Source CMS as a Service

Expertly configured open source stack to ensure the best possible performance, stability, and security. Focus on sites, not servers, and retain all the control that comes with owning your code.

Optimize for Experience

Leverage with certainty open source tooling available to organizations and bring increased value to your website, your teams, and your customers.

Maintenance risk and toil is probably the single biggest impediment to open source CMS, the opportunity to apply machine learning capabilities and AI-driven testing to updating your core CMS, plugins, and themes allow for an improved level of scaled web performance.
