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.

Everything you Need
WordPress VIP provides all the infrastructure you need: servers, CDNs, version control, monitoring, and platform so you can focus on coding.

WordPress VIP has been optimized to perform faster than anyone else in independent tests. That’s why it is trusted by the world’s biggest sites.

We take security seriously and have the certifications to prove it. With WordPress VIP’s multi-pronged approach to protection, you can be sure you’re building on a secure foundation.
Always up to date

“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.”
