We’re a custom dev shop with expertise in WordPress. Our biggest clients are ones that built a substantial business on WordPress then outgrew their site / dev / hosting and came looking for us. Gutenberg will never stop that evolution.
I’m thrilled they’re lowering the bar to manage sites and stay competitive in the marketplace. It’s enabling new businesses and filling a fresh pipeline for us.
WP isn’t limiting us at all. Build pipelines, bundlers, edge workers, js frameworks. It’s all the same. I don’t have to try to sell the advantages of a new CMS. And as a bonus, we already speak the same language as I’m building them a tailor fit WP that they’re already familiar with.
We use WordPress with the Gutenberg editor and Gatsby Cloud. It’s been very nice to work with and the Gatsby Cloud team seems to pay a lot of attention to the editorial and deploy experience. We’re happy and this is how we’re building things today.
>The urban legend that DNS-based load balancing depends on TTLs (it doesn’t - since Netscape Navigator, clients pick a random IP from a RR set, and transparently try another one if they can’t connect)
That's just not how this works at all. While you could use RR records for this purpose, I believe the author is suggesting that load balancing will happen automatically when the client simply can't connect to one of the addresses. That's not load balancing. That's failover.
Additionally, most of the use cases for this that I'm aware of are Cname -> A record. This is to say, this method is being used with precision rather than RR.
I agree that running 60 second TTL's regardless of need is inefficient, but at a fast glance, the full argument doesn't hold up for me.
I've tested it as well (seeing it on the latest Apple keynote) and have been having quality issues even when sharing slides via share screen, which is what they recommend if there's quality issues. Submitted a ticket around a week ago and haven't heard back yet.
Really excited at the possibility here. Staying tuned...
