Kinsta Is the Cloud Platform for the Modern Developer

Event

WordPress has been and continues to be the most widely used content management system (CMS) for website development and management thanks to its expanding market share.

Nevertheless, WordPress only accounts for a small portion of web development. What is the situation with all of the developers who do not use WordPress? Web applications are also created, operated, and managed by them for their own use, clients, or customers.

We at Kinsta have collaborated with thousands of developers and hundreds of agencies whose customers have WordPress-based projects. Additionally, many have projects that do not utilize the well-known CMS.

Customers (and their clients) were unable to utilize the advantages of our platform for non-WordPress projects and host all projects under a “one roof” until today because Kinsta primarily focused on developing managed WordPress hosting solutions. Their work became harder and less effective as a result.

As a result, we started looking for ways to simplify their lives.

The more we talked to our customers and beta testers about their projects and received feedback, the more we realized that one underlying issue was causing them problems.

However, there is a plot hole: It was more than just our clients.

We realized that almost every developer, DevOps team, and agency that manages web projects suffer from this issue. It frustrates everyone, and everyone wants to find a better solution.

Hosting shouldn’t be a concern for developers; They ought to concentrate on growth. What’s the problem?

I have to say something here. I use Kinsta for my personal website, and it is amazing. Their servers are the fastest for WordPress, and their support is excellent and quick.

The developers want to ship their apps quickly. A platform that enables developers to manage everything from a single location is essential.

a platform that is clear, straightforward, and simple to use without limiting development to a single technology, framework, or library.

a platform that doesn’t require any special training or platform-specific certifications and is simple to learn and use from day one.

a platform with a pricing structure that is clear and straightforward. Have you ever attempted to comprehend the AWS pricing? Challenging!)

We were aware that Kinsta’s containerized architecture would enable us to meet these requirements and provide developers with the platform and tools they need to do their best work.

In addition, we were aware that we had:

Support that is second to none Talented developers and engineering teams that are capable of solving any technical issue DevOps teams that are second to none when it comes to orchestrating, managing, and scaling our hosting platform We built our new, enhanced hosting solutions on top of the same platform that makes our WordPress services so powerful. We have more than eight years of experience in the hosting industry. We have made it available to the public after more than a year of hard work with more than 320 Kinstanians, more than 750 beta testers, and numerous iterations.

Application Hosting (In Brief) Web development is in a fascinating phase that exemplifies the articulate, nuanced, and complex nature of the modern world. Modern web developers will find that our new Application Hosting solution makes their work easier.

We simplify the process by removing the burdens of managing containers, servers, the operating system, backups, SSL certificates, and custom domains—all of which could prevent you from concentrating solely on development—from your hands.

PHP, Node.js, Django, Rails, Java, Scala, and Go We’re organizing a rundown of essential “Hi World” vaults you can fork and convey on Kinsta to take the help for a twist.)
