Ymir Report #93 ā Logging holiday š
|
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Happy holidays in advance! Although maybe you're already off if so, I hope you're enjoying yourself already! No holidays planned here. I don't plan on stopping at all unless my body gives out, which isn't out of the question š¤£ I've wrapped the logging changes I mentioned in the last report! It took a bit longer than I expected because I tackled some tech debt at the same time. I also added a few more features as well. š I'm switching back to consulting work now for a few weeks. Still gotta pay those bills. š„² Switching away from Ymir always brings some sadness because I wish I didn't have to. But that's the nature of the game that I'm playing right now. PRODUCT You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog. Ymir now allows you to have access logs based on your CloudFront traffic. š„³ I've also created the new logging node that lets you have defaults for your entire environment. Here's how it looks like now: I've also done the same thing with the memory option. Like concurrency, you can set a default memory value for all your Lambda functions at the environment level. This lets you change all your memory values more easily and also keep your ymir.yml config file small. Keeping the ymir.yml config file small is something I'm obsessing over. I understand Ymir is a technical product, but there's no reason for it to be overwhelming. You should be able to have a ymir.yml file that's small and easy to understand. If you need to know the defaults, you can review the docs page. MARKETING I've been on a few podcasts since the last report. None of them are out yet. I've got some more scheduled in the new year. I also updated the reports and change log. I hadn't done it since august I think. It's not good that I waited so long. But I didn't have the energy to do it until now. I do plan to apply to WordCamp Europe with the new serverless talk I gave this fall. We'll see if it gets picked! I'm also still writing my year in review. It probably won't be out before February realistically. BUSINESS You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes. Nothing new on the business side. No trials, no cancellations, nothing. š Carl |

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO It would be a great story if I told you that now that this deal with BuiltFast changed my fortunes overnight! I never expected it to. So we're back to our regularly scheduled programming! š¤£ The months of negotiations were quite draining for me. I've spent some time trying to rest. But I've also had to do a lot of consulting work since that's still what pays my...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. I licensed Ymir to a hosting company. These aren't words I would've ever expected to write a few months ago. It still doesn't feel real to me, if I'm honest. It doesn't matter that there's an actual press release. Or that there's a picture of me at CloudFest USA showing a new serverless ecosystem that didn't even exist two weeks ago. I keep thinking of the Hemingway...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Looks like we're on more of a monthly cadence still š This is going to be a shorter update. October was busy, but I can't talk about it yet. I'll have a longer report after CloudFest USA. Because I was so busy with other things, I didn't get to work on Ymir itself much. That said, I did some really good marketing at WordCamp Canada! šŖ I was pretty exhausted...
