INTRO
As the title says, Ymir passed the 10,000 deployment milestone. It's exciting to see it being used by more people. Laravel Vapor has 3.5 million deployments so not quite at their scale yet! š
It's my last week in Tokyo. I did some touristic stuff in Japan last week. So didn't do a full cycle. I mainly wrapped up the code upgrade.
Otherwise, I have a lot of consulting work to do. So I'm not sure I'll get a lot of product work done. The main focus is to get the logging changes and documentation done.
PRODUCT
You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.
I think the code upgrade is largely done. Ymir is now leveraging PHP features up to PHP 8.2. I might try to run rector on the code base to see if it finds anything else.
The code also now passes phpstan max level. This required thousands of small code fixes. The goal is to continue to make sure Ymir's code base is as resilient as possible. Static code analysis is your first line of defence since it can detect issues in your code without you having to write tests to detect them.
MARKETING
I'm still in talks with a hosting company. As usual, this is a very slow process. I'm trying to get them to do a pilot with Ymir. We'll see what happens.
I also did a podcast last month, which I forgot to share. (I blame the fact I'd just moved to Japan š ) I talked about Ymir on the Do the Woo emerging tech podcast.
BUSINESS
You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes.
November is looking a bit healthier. I have a few trials going. I had one trial convert, but also one cancellation. So maybe we get to see some growth this month. š¤
Still thinking about what to do about the agency pricing. I'll probably sit on it for a bit.

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām 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 Iām 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 Iām 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...
