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 The last few weeks have been busy with the neurodivergence talk I gave last week at Decoupled Days. I've been working on it for the past few months. But I had to wrap up the companion article (you can read it here) and do the slide deck. I'm really happy with how it all turned out. This was my first time in a while using AI outside of programming. The...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO We're finally here! Yesterday, I used the World Cup final as a cover to perform the migration of Ymir off of Laravel Vapor. (Shows you how invested I was in it š ) I'd been working on this for the past few weeks, so everything went smoothly, including the MySQL to PostgreSQL migration. It's a bittersweet ending for me. Ymir only exists because Taylor built...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. Life is never short on irony. A few hours after I sent the last report saying how grateful I was for the partnership, I learned that Paul Carter, the CEO of BuiltFast, had died suddenly. I can't claim to have known Paul well. It hasn't even been a year since BuiltFast and I started negotiating our partnership. That said, I tend to be a good judge of character, and I...
