Traffic that spikes
A breaking story, a campaign, a product drop: your numbers go vertical in minutes, not months.
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.
When you need this
Signs you've outgrown a single server.
WordPress + AWS isn't for every site. It earns its keep the moment one origin can no longer carry the day.
Downtime that costs
When the busiest hour is the one that takes the site down, an outage isn't an inconvenience. It's lost audience and revenue.
Media-heavy pages
Video, galleries and large files that a single server strains to deliver quickly to everyone at once.
Readers everywhere
An audience spread across regions that all expect the page to open instantly, wherever they are.
In production
Not a theory, a track record.
The architecture above isn't a whiteboard diagram. It's the same approach that ran a leading pan-Arab news broadcaster's newsroom for years.

Distribution
Publish once. Everywhere it needs to be.
One story, one workflow, out to every channel your audience lives on, all from inside the CMS.
YouTube Dailymotion Vimeo Facebook X Telegram WhatsApp
One source, every platform
Publish in WordPress and choose where it goes. Video is uploaded once to S3 with its metadata, then pushed out to YouTube, Dailymotion or Vimeo, no re-uploading, no second tool.
Editorial stays in control
A full dashboard governs distribution: which channels are allowed, who can publish where, and what goes out, syndication under editorial control, not a free-for-all.
Schedule & track
Share a post instantly or schedule it on a detailed calendar that shows every post's status: published, scheduled, and where it's headed.
How we get you there
From single origin to spike-proof, without the rebuild.
You don't re-platform. We keep WordPress where your editors work and build the AWS layer around it, in clear stages.
- 01
Assess
We profile your current setup (traffic patterns, failure points and the moments that hurt) and map the target architecture.
- 02
Architect
We design the AWS layer around your WordPress: edge caching, media offload, serverless compute and the messaging fabric.
- 03
Migrate
We move delivery onto AWS with no re-platforming and no downtime drama. WordPress stays exactly where it is.
- 04
Operate
We harden, monitor and tune, and stay on hand for the days the traffic goes vertical.
