New Serverless WordPress Website

Happy Summer to all our friends! We’ve just completed an update to our website / which is now built using WordPress. This is mainly to make it easier for us to create and manage content.

We’re not using regular WordPress though. We run a Serverless version of WordPress on AWS Lambda, which doesn’t need a server running all the time. We use it to manage our content. We then publish the content as static HTML files on Amazon S3 and the CloudFront CDN. This is basically much more secure, scalable and cheaper than running a classic WordPress server.

If you are interested in Serverless WordPress, please let us know at https://twitter.com/cloudeninc. We’re currently thinking about our future services which could include offering Serverless WordPress as a hosted service.

We interact with external services like the .fi top-level-domain registry and external DNS services. We also have an order processing system that has grown more…

    As always, we’ve been closely following Amazon’s new cloud technology announcements at re:Invent 2020. The event was fully virtual this year and all the talks were streamed online.
