Skip the hassle of deploying servers or infrastructure! With WordPress VIP, get the best infrastructure, the easiest developer tooling, flexibility to use the technologies and architecture you prefer, and a level of developer support unmatched in the industry.
Improved developer workflow
WordPress VIP makes your development team more productive. By automating key developer workflows, providing fantastic tooling, and integrating with tools developers already know and love, we make developing on WordPress easy.
Integrated version control
Every WordPress VIP application comes with a fully integrated GitHub code repository. Application code is hosted there and deployed to each environment when code is pushed to specified branches. WordPress VIP can also integrate with GitLab and Bitbucket.
CI and CD
WordPress VIP supports continuous integration / continuous deployment practices. It integrates with popular tools like CircleCI with the included GitHub repo. Easily run automated unit tests, integration tests, and inspection of code quality.
Testing environments
Manage PROD, PREPROD, DEV, or UAT environments. Use Git branches to easily target deployments to specific environments within WordPress VIP. Easily replicate production data and media between production and non-production environments for debugging and testing.
Easy deployment and rollback
With WordPress VIP it is easy to deploy code into production in seconds. If a problem is detected, it’s just as easy to quickly rollback to a previous version.
Powerful Command Line Interface (CLI)
WordPress VIP makes it easy to manage your environment through a simple but powerful CLI. Developers can easily update the site, copy down production content to a local developer site, or even set system variables.
Local development environment
WordPress VIP provides a local development environment, ideal for creating your own sandbox for development and testing. WordPress VIP makes it easy to pull down production content for testing with the latest updates whenever you need.
Audit logs
All management actions are logged both for an organization and a specific application. If problems arise it’s easy to determine possible root causes and resolve them quickly.
Controlled deployment via GitHub
WordPress VIP puts you in control of code rollouts. Unauthorized end users are restricted from deploying plugins and/or themes directly from wp-admin. All submissions also go through a code analysis final check before going live.
Data pulls
WordPress VIP makes it easy to pull down data from your production environment to your staging or local development environment for testing.
“An entirely new design, a much easier site to navigate, a much better reading experience with performance that was mindbogglingly fantastic.”
Remy Stern, Chief Digital Officer, New York Post
Flexible to match your architecture
With WordPress VIP it’s easy to build multiple types of experiences on the platform. Whether you’re looking for a single-stack or headless architecture, building exclusively for the web, or powering other digital experiences, the platform is there to support you.
WordPress theme development
WordPress VIP is ideally suited for building, testing, deploying, and hosting sites that utilize WordPress Themes to power their front end.
Headless architectures

As part of deployment, automatically scan plugins for performance and security, ensuring no negative impact on your environment.
Open APIs
WordPress VIP exposes much of the functionality of the platform via REST and GraphQL APIs. WordPress VIP delivers these APIs at scale. For example, Accuweather makes 70 million API calls to the platform each day.
Enhanced APIs
WordPress VIP delivers additional APIs tailored to enterprise use cases. For example, WordPress VIP offers caching and geolocation APIs.

WordPress VIP provides integrated enterprise search capabilities that fit right into your site. Built on Elasticsearch, these search capabilities make it easy to debug and improve the search experience.

Multisite support
WordPress VIP makes spinning up a new site CMS simple. Easily manage multiple WordPress sites in a multisite configuration, and use each to power a separate single-stack or headless implementation.

Automated backups
WordPress VIP maintains hourly backups of key components. Restore backups to any environment or automatically export them as SQL to Amazon S3.
“Using WordPress VIP means I don’t have to bring in an operations team. My developers don’t have to worry, ‘Is the site up or down?’ but can focus on creating. Frankly, I’d rather have my team focused on being creative and innovative than spending time worrying about architecture.”
