Payload Cloud Plugin
This is the official Payload Cloud plugin that is meant to be installed for any project that deploys on Payload Cloud.
What it does
Payload Cloud gives you everything you need to deploy Payload to production, and this plugin is responsible for connecting your Payload instance to the resources that Payload Cloud provides.
File storage
Payload Cloud gives you S3 file storage backed by Cloudflare as a CDN, and this plugin extends Payload so that all of your media will be stored in S3 rather than locally.
Future enhancements
API CDN
In the future, this plugin will also ship with a way to dynamically cache API requests as well as purge them whenever a resource is updated.
Email delivery
Payload is working with Resend to provide an email delivery service out-of-the-box for all Payload Cloud customers. This will be coming soon.
When it executes
This plugin will only execute if the required environment variables set by Payload Cloud are in place.
