INTRO

Heya!

I did it! I have my first case study πŸ₯³

Otherwise, I had a good time at WordCamp Europe. I had some good discussions there about the state of the hosting industry. They make me feel good about the long-term viability of Ymir, but doesn't really help in the short run.

There hasn't been a lot of movement on the product this month. I came from Europe with COVID. 😷 I'm still sick and quite low on energy. The little energy I had, I used to write the case study.


PRODUCT

MARKETING

Ok, so I did it! I have something marketing for this section this time 🀣 I want to thank Ryan for giving me all the details and agreeing to let me do the case study. πŸ’–

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. πŸ₯³ 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....

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! πŸ₯³ 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...
