Barry on WordPress

My esteemed colleague Sergio has a great writeup about web application performance – specifically around Javascript and React.

Last week, a few of us from Automattic attended NANOG in San Diego and Tyler from our Netops team gave a great talk about Pingo, a tool we have written and released under the GPL.

At Automattic, our systems team manages over 10,000 physical servers located across 30 data centers on 6 continents.

We enabled TLSv1.3 support on the WordPress.com API today and it’s already 50% of total traffic.

Earlier this year, my colleague David Newman gave a great talk about the systems that power WordPress.com and our container-based VIP platform at ScaleConf in Cape Town, South Africa.

Today, one of our network engineers, Chris Laffin, published a great post on the WordPress.com Developer Blog about how we use open source tools to analyze netflow data for our ever-growing global anycast network.

In June, I gave a talk at the dotScale conference in Paris about WordPress.com’s MySQL database architecture and infrastructure.

This week we started testing our global anycast network.

Batcache version 1.2 was released today.

See you in Austin!
