Ymir Report #96 ā Laravel Waitlist!
|
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO I've been hard at work trying to wrap up Laravel support. I'm close enough that I can start talking about it and marketing it. (Yes, marketing! š¤£) I started a waitlist so that I can contact anyone who's interested when it's shipped in beta. My goal is to migrate Ymir in March if all goes well. PRODUCT You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog. You know when you think you're almost done, and in fact, you are not. That's how I feel about Laravel support! š¤£ I thought most of the work was the CLI rewrite. Well, the PHP runtime needed a very serious architecture upgrade as well. I still haven't released it, but here's how it's going so far: This is only one of the many facets of what I'm working on. The Laravel bridge package will get its 1.0 release. The CLI also got some work done. There's a new Monolog bridge package to format logs for CloudWatch. Useful for Laravel, but also if you use Wonolog. There's also work being done on the platform itself. So yeah, lots going on! š I've been feeling a lot of pressure to ship this and have been working 7 days a week. I'm feeling a burnout coming so I'm going to dial it back a bit. There's also consulting work I have to go back to and I have a conference at the end of the month. That said, I'm pretty close to shipping a beta. I've got my Laravel demo deployed. I also have artisan commands working. There's a few kinks left, but I think I can get it done this week. After that, I'll probably have to shift to consulting and other things for a bit. MARKETING Okay, some marketing going on! I wanted to start a waitlist and share it on the Laravel subreddit. Unfortunately, I couldn't, so I just posted what I wanted to post on Twitter.
Would definitely appreciate a retweet if you want to help out! Besides that, I'm speaking about serverless at a conference in Montreal at the end of the month. Need to start working on updating my slides for that! š Another podcast I recorded last year came out last week! I had a lot of fun doing it with Paul Carter, the CEO of BuiltFast. I think another podcast is coming soon, but it's not out yet. BUSINESS You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes. Gained a customer last month and lost one this month. Nothing else going on that side besides doing my corporate taxes! šø Carl |

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO This is the report I've been waiting to write for so long. Laravel support is finally here! I shipped the last part yesterday, which was the new CLI version. (You need version 2.1.0 to create a Laravel project.) This is an important milestone, but there's still work to do. The next phase is to migrate Ymir to Ymir. There's still some missing pieces for that to...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. On February 19th, 2021, I wrote the first Ymir report. I had in mind that I'd try to do a report on February 19th to celebrate the five-year milestone. As you can see, I wasn't able to do it. š The reason was that I wrapped up my gigantic 14,000 word year in review two days before. I was and still am quite drained from the endeavour. 2025 was an eventful year for me...

I'm happy to say that I wrapped up the rewrite of the CLI and released version 2.0. This was a massive amount of work.
