SOFTWARE
WordPress developers have their own workflows, and they sometimes differ from the usual ones in other CMS or frameworks. However, Bedrock allows you to manage WordPress and related plugins as any other PHP dependency via composer. It also creates a better project structure that puts WordPress in its own subdirectory. These nice features make Bedrock a great alternative to consider when developing WordPress sites, since you can follow a typical PHP development workflow: Update dependencies locally, commit your composer.lock, and deploy your application to your testing/staging environment (or to production, eventually).
If you also take advantage of Moss‘s zero-downtime deployments, your WordPress development workflow becomes a breeze. In this article we’ll see how to create and deploy your Bedrock site with Moss.

You can easily deploy UpCloud servers and use a Moss’s free or paid plan to manage them securely. You just have to complete the steps described in this article.
When we started Moss we had a clear objective in mind: Help developers create and deploy their websites reliably and easily. Let them focus on their job while Moss takes care of server configs, zero-downtime deployments, and everything required to have a robust and secure setup without the sysadmin hassle.
Today, we think we’re one step closer to such goal. We’ve updated the price plans of Moss so that most teams can have access to it regardless their budget. Yes, we’ve released a Free Plan you can use to manage all your servers and sites. Once you’re getting enough value from Moss and your requirements go up, you can upgrade to a paid plan.
Our today’s release of Moss supports password authentication to log into your servers via SSH/SFTP. In this post I try to explain the use cases behind this decision, and how we’ve addressed this feature without putting at risk the security of your servers.
