Geographical Redundancy for disaster recovery
The Geographical Redundancy feature enables an application to be fully restored and operational at an alternate data center with minimal downtime and data loss if the primary data center experiences a critical failure.
Identify slow queries
Slow queries are SQL database queries made by application code that take an unusually long time to execute. An increase in slow queries will reduce the efficiency and resiliency of an application’s database. A site with frequent slow queries might appear to operate well under normal amounts of traffic, but can perform poorly if the amount of traffic increases even by small amounts.
Notification event types
Notifications for organizations and Notifications for applications can be configured for a variety of event types. Event types include detected performance metrics anomalies, the success or failure of code deployments, and vulnerabilities detected by Codebase Manager in the plugins deployed to an environment.
Performance metrics anomalies
Performance metrics anomalies are events that indicate a degradation in performance related to an environment’s object cache hit rate, slow queries, number of 5xx responses from the origin server, or the rate of 429 responses from the edge server—as measured against the known range of metrics for a performant application.
PHP sessions
WordPress VIP supports PHP sessions for storing short-lived, ephemeral session data. Session data is backed by Memcached to improve performance, but to ensure a site’s stability and scalability the performance of its underlying code should be optimized wherever possible.
Database access
Direct access to an environment’s database is limited, but users can access a read-only phpMyAdmin console sessions and interact with WPVIP Platform databases using WP-CLI commands that are run with VIP-CLI.
Important Alerts
Important Alerts are automated Notifications that are sent to communicate time-sensitive information that potentially affect an organization and some or all of its applications or environments.
Custom Deployment
The Custom Deployment method enables application code to be developed in a version control system outside of an application's wpcomvip GitHub repository. The developed code can then be deployed to a VIP Platform environment with VIP-CLI or a continuous deployment method.
