this sounds like a puff piece without really going into why "WP Engine" is such a good company. Aside from good customer service, and being able to respond quickly to emails, the article doesn't really say anything about the capabilities of their system or how secure it actually is, or even, what are some of the clients running on that system?
- raheemm 16y agoYah I asked him for the details in the comments and he said that WP Engine runs the following on their servers: NGINX (reverse proxy) Apache (webserver) APC (PHP Accelerator) CDN baked into the architecture Insanely powerful hardware
- smartbear 16y agoYup, also hardware security devices on the front end -- things like the obvious script hack signs and DoS protection.
- willieljackson 16y agoYeah, I thought about letting Cullen address your comment but he specifically mentioned that they'd be making the information available for anyone to use and hopefully build upon. It's certainly not hard to figure out what they're running of course. http://builtwith.com/wpengine.com http://builtwith.com/wpengine.com and the "Net" tab of the Firebug plugin tell most of the story.
- willieljackson 16y agoI think that's a fair accusation. I had been putting off the article for a while, but thought my audience (not really technical, but appreciative of product and service recommendations) would be lost if I went into the details of what made it exciting to me as a server geek.
