Ymir Report #65 ā PHP 8.2 support
Heya friend!
Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building.
INTRO
Greetings back from Canada!
I have largely focused these past two weeks on my consulting clients. I will probably do the same over the next two weeks.
Otherwise, WordPress 6.4 just came out. WordPress 6.4 now recommends PHP 8.1 and 8.2. I decided that this was the time to add PHP 8.2 support even if WordPress still says it's in beta support.
Business is going well this month still! But December isn't looking too hot. Always the š¢ with this š
PRODUCT
You can always view the history of Ymir's product development at https://ymirapp.com/changelog.
As I mentioned, I only touched PHP 8.2 support this cycle. I started looking at the changes around logging. That said, it was a heavier lift than what I had time for with all the consulting work.
At this point, Ymir supports six PHP versions. (Seven with PHP 8.3 eventually!) I'm thinking about how I'll manage deprecations in the future. The good thing is I'm building the runtime against the Symfony LTS version and support ends at the end of 2025.
MARKETING
A few podcasts came out these past few weeks that involved Ymir.
ā
First, I recorded a podcast for WP Builds a few months ago. It finally came out last week! š„³ I discuss Ymir, serverless, building in public.
While I wasn't a guest on that one per se, we had a really good episode of Do the Woo DevChat. We had Ben Gabler from Rocket.net and Tom Fanelli from Conversio. We discussed the challenges of hosting WooCommerce sites and I had some insights on that as well. Probably one of the best episodes we did this year.

This month is looking really good. I had a lot of trials. It's looking like I might have a net gain of three subscribers. However, I have cancellations coming next month so that puts a dampen on how well things did this month.
On top of that, it's American Thanksgiving this week. This is usually the beginning of the slower period before the Christmas holidays. So I'm not expecting a lot of movement until January.

Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Greetings from Japan! I've been here for the past two weeks after going to WordCamp Asia. This is probably my last trip to Asia for the foreseeable future. I will probably go to CloudFest instead of WordCamp Asia next year. I can't afford to do both. There has been little work done on Ymir because I had friends visiting Tokyo until last week. I've also been...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Heya! A bit late sending this report again. The last two weeks have been challenging personally and I've just focused on myself more. I did manage to get some things done, but I mostly took time for myself. #selfcare I got one product and one marketing change out. Business is still roughly in the same shape as before. I'm still thinking about things and...
Heya friend! Carl here. You signed up to receive updates about Ymir, the WordPress serverless DevOps platform that Iām building. INTRO Happy Monday! I'm a bit delayed sending this report out. (It's also not really edited š ) I got back home at midnight from WordCamp Phoenix. I gave the serverless WordPress talk I gave at WordCamp Asia last year. The talk went great and the WordCamp itself was surprisingly good. I didn't expect to network as well as at a flagship WordCamp. But I did so it feels...
