Happy holidays!
This is going to be a pretty short report. I'm taking some time off for the holidays. I might work a bit on Ymir, but it'll be by choice or to do support.
I plan on starting back on the second week of January. So it might be a month before the next report.
Otherwise, it's been a quiet cycle.
PRODUCT
You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.
I spent most of the cycle just wrapping up the work on the CloudFront cache invalidation. I had quite a few bugs with it and released some fixes throughout the week. But it seems to be working fine now! 🤞
MARKETING
I've been working on a huge CloudFront guide. It's done and ready to go! I decided that to hold off publishing it until next year.

Business is continuing to grow this month. I've had a few trials. All, but one converted so far. There's one more left that converts on December 30th. If that works out, then I'll be at 17 subscribers :)

But I had to wrap up the companion article (you can read it here) and do the slide deck. I'm really happy with how it all turned out. This was my first time in a while using AI outside of programming. The...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO We're finally here! Yesterday, I used the World Cup final as a cover to perform the migration of Ymir off of Laravel Vapor. (Shows you how invested I was in it 😅) I'd been working on this for the past few weeks, so everything went smoothly, including the MySQL to PostgreSQL migration. It's a bittersweet ending for me. Ymir only exists because Taylor built...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. Life is never short on irony. A few hours after I sent the last report saying how grateful I was for the partnership, I learned that Paul Carter, the CEO of BuiltFast, had died suddenly. I can't claim to have known Paul well. It hasn't even been a year since BuiltFast and I started negotiating our partnership. That said, I tend to be a good judge of character, and I...
