Some of us love managing servers. For most WordPress developers, though, they’re a necessary evil we’d rather offload. We pay for hosting to avoid the hassle, but that doesn’t magically fix everything. You’re still worrying about whether your site can handle a traffic spike and often overpaying ‘just in case.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, that\u2019s what serverless WordPress aims to fix. With a serverless approach, you genuinely pay only for what you use. Meanwhile, you get an infrastructure that can go from zero traffic to handling thousands of visitors in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This talk will go over serverless WordPress and how it works. You\u2019ll learn how it differs from regular WordPress hosting with a traditional server setup and why it\u2019s a game-changer for demanding sites like WooCommerce and how it can transform your development workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll finish by sharing stories from the trenches about conquering massive traffic and cutting costs. We’ll also go over tools and projects you can use to deploy your serverless WordPress site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
