Ymir Report #99 ā PressConf šµ
|
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Been a little while since the last report! Unfortunately, not much has happened since the last update. I got a pretty nasty cold that knocked me out for more than a week. I then had to shift to consulting work to pay my bills. š Following the consulting work, I flew out to Phoenix for PressConf. I'll talk more about it later. But Raquel created an exceptional event. I look forward to going back to it! PRODUCT You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog. Not much is going on with the product right now. My current goal is to move Ymir to Ymir. There are a few things missing for this to happen. First, I'd like to add Postgres support. I'm thinking about moving from MySQL to Postgres as part of the migration. I'm still not 100% sure, so if you have any opinion on this, please let me know! Second, there are some infrastructure upgrades I'd like to do as well. My goal is to use this migration as an opportunity to put Ymir in a better position to handle future growth. It's definitely an upfront investment since it'll probably triple my AWS costs. MARKETING PressConf showed once more that I'm at my best when I can do in-person networking. I didn't have high hopes that the conference would be useful to Ymir. I'm glad that I was wrong! This doesn't change the fact that I need some way to do marketing outside of events like PressConf. Especially since I'm not doing well enough financially to travel this year. PressConf is currently the only international event I'm going to attend. (I wasn't even supposed to, but Raquel wouldn't accept it! š ) There won't be any WordCamp Europe this year, sadly. š BUSINESS You can always view Ymir's up-to-date business metrics at ymirapp.com/open. They're updated every 10 minutes. PressConf brought new leads for the BuiltFast partnership. I haven't been talking much about it, but it's still moving along. It's been slower than we'd like getting this going, but excited for some things I'll be able to talk about soon! š I still continue to think that the moment is here for serverless technology. It's been really interesting having this thesis for things and seeing it actually happen now. I had conversations at PressConf about topics I was talking about at WordCamp Asia 2023. 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...
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...
