File concatenation and minification

By default, if enqueued, an application’s JavaScript and CSS files are concatenated in order to reduce the number of requests that occur on a single page load. CSS files are minified as well as concatenated, which reduces file size by removing unnecessary white space.

VIP Platform environments

Each application has either WordPress environments or Node.js environments. An application cannot have a combination of WordPress and Node.js environments.

Node.js on VIP

Node.js applications on WordPress VIP are provisioned with load-balanced pods with an optional Valkey add-on. The VIP Platform is designed to run Node.js web applications—including decoupled/headless frontends to WordPress, microservices, REST APIs, GraphQL APIs, and middleware.

Infrastructure

The WordPress VIP Platform has container-based infrastructure that allows customers to run WordPress applications and Node.js applications on Automattic’s world-class hardware and network infrastructure. VIP looks after hourly platform backups and 24/7 monitoring for all applications.

Reverse proxy

A reverse proxy is a server that sits between the end-user requesting information from a site and the VIP application serving the content. VIP only recommends using a proxy if it is absolutely necessary due to application or policy requirements.

Org roles and permissions

Users granted access to an organization’s VIP Dashboard are assigned one of three Org roles (in order of most privileges to least): admin, member, and guest.

PHPCS warnings

Common issues that are reported as PHPCS warnings and should not be pushed to a production environment unless a specific use case requires it.

PHPCS errors

PHPCS scans that are run against WordPress application code either manually or by the VIP Code Analysis Bot will run with identical standards that include the WordPress-VIP-Go standard.
