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.

My @cloudfront page caching article is pretty much done. But I don't think it makes sense publishing it on December 23rd. Seems better to wait after the holidays. 
Thoughts?

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 :)

Ymir Report #101 — PostgreSQL support

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Slowly getting back into the groove of things. I'm not working as hard as before the burnout. I still have days where I work for an hour and that fries my brain. I still get the itch to work on the product though! So I've been just doing smaller chunks of work. That still lets me ship things like PostgreSQL support! PRODUCT You can always view the history of...

Ymir Report #100 — Burn out 🙃

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. This isn't the hundredth report I was planning to write. I wrote my previous report so sure I was close to the finish line of moving off Vapor. I was so happy that I'd nail the timing. The title wrote itself, "Ymir Report #100 — Ymir on Ymir". (That's a lot of "Ymir" in the same sentence! 🤣) But life is nothing but full of irony. The day after I sent that report, my...

Ymir Report #99 — PressConf 🌵

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Been a little while since the last report! Unfortunately, not much has happened since the last update. I got a pretty nasty cold that knocked me out for more than a week. I then had to shift to consulting work to pay my bills. 😅 Following the consulting work, I flew out to Phoenix for PressConf. I'll talk more about it later. But Raquel created an exceptional...
