Ymir Report #55 — Pricing change lands TOMORROW


Heya friend!

Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building.


INTRO

This is going to be a short update. I flew back from Greece last week. It's been back to back long holiday in Canada. (That's why this update is a bit delayed. I'm taking a bit off today šŸ˜…)

The pricing changes are almost done in the main Ymir application. I still need to have to run the entire test suite with the changes. This takes over 10h. But it should be done tomorrow so you have until then to resubscribe or subscribe to get the old unlimited plan.

Outside of that, I haven't had time to work on anything else.


PRODUCT

You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.

Like I said, still working on the pricing changes. Once that's done, I'll be going back to doing some small improvements here and there. Looking at doing some work updating CloudFront configuration to support Brotli compression as well as Origin Shield.


MARKETING

No marketing work this week. Recording a podcast tomorrow. I have another one that should drop soon with Remkus. He mentions it in this WordCamp Europe recap podcast.

It was fun listening to it because Dave met me for the first time. But I like that he mentioned it was good to see me build in public. 🄰


BUSINESS

You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes.

Too early to tell the impact of the pricing change. I've had 5 sign ups (5 new, 1 reactivation) from people wanting to take advantage of the grandfathered unlimited plan. I'm hoping this gives me a baseline subscription income.

There might be some partnership news about the agency plan by the next update. We'll see how that goes!

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO Fall is almost here! August has been super busy with a lot of work going on behind the scenes. I'm happy to say that Ymir now supports SQS queues. 🄳 The feature is live and documented in the configuration reference and change log. There isn't much else to do with it for now. I'm not adding SQS support for WordPress yet, so this is really for Laravel support....

INTRO If you're in the summer hemisphere, I hope you're enjoying your summer (or your winter down there! šŸ˜…) I've had an amazing summer with lots of friends visiting. It's also been very busy with consulting work and Ymir! Laravel support continues to progress. I think I'm finally done with most of the refactoring of the Laravel app. I've begun working on supporting...

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO It's been a busy month for me with Ymir and consulting! The most exciting thing is that Ymir sponsored its first WordCamp! 🄳 It was a cool milestone for me and I need to put it on the open dashboard when I have a moment. Laravel support is progressing at a good pace. I've wrapped up the refactoring of the deployment code. It was a huge undertaking and involved...
