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 😅)
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 I'm back from 2 months of pretty intense travelling. If we add the other life events that I discussed in the previous report, it's been quite busy for me personally. I worked on Ymir some, but I didn't have the time to sit down to write my report. That said, there's a good chance I'm done travelling for the year. I was just at WCEU, but I don't plan on going...
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 longer than I'd liked since the last update. Unfortunately, I had someone close to me pass away two weeks ago. They were in their 30s, and it was unexpected. I'll talk more about it when I do my year in review. I spent a lot of time the past two weeks with their family. The time I had left, I used to work for consulting clients. So there hasn't...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that I’m building. INTRO So I'm back from CloudFest. I'm really happy with the experience overall. I'm not sure if it'll be worth it financially. That said, I'll definitely go back for the hackathon at the very least. The hackathon was such a great experience. It was my first one, and I was so blown away by it. Joost did a small write up on it that I found great. From a business...
