WordPress + AWS
WordPress holds the newsroom. AWS holds the load.
On its own, a single WordPress origin buckles when a story breaks — the database saturates, caches stampede, and the page that matters most is the one that goes down. We move the heavy lifting to AWS and let WordPress do what it does best: editorial.
Edge-fast delivery
Pages and media served from CloudFront's global edge — close to every reader, cached before the spike arrives.
Spikes absorbed
Lambda and managed AWS services scale with breaking-news traffic, then quietly scale back down.
Pay for traffic, not idle
No over-provisioned fleet waiting for the next big day. Infrastructure cost tracks real demand.
Ready for the day traffic is 50× normal?
Let's design a WordPress + AWS architecture that absorbs the spike and scales back down.
