WordPress DevOps

Reference articles for teams running WordPress outside the classic shared hosting box: Docker Compose for local development and staging, Nginx FastCGI full-page caching that bypasses PHP for anonymous traffic, WP-CLI as the daily-ops surface, and the operational patterns that keep a self-hosted WordPress site boring.
