Node.js application requirements
A Node.js application must fulfill several requirements before it can run successfully on VIP’s infrastructure. The Node.js skeleton starter repository includes example applications that fulfill all of these requirements.
WP-CLI with VIP-CLI
WP-CLI is a powerful and extensible way to interact with WordPress from the command line.
Action Scheduler
Action Scheduler is a scalable, traceable job queue for background-processing large queues of tasks in WordPress. Because it is built to process many actions within one request, it can be more efficient than using individual WordPress Cron events (e.g. processing 100 WooCommerce subscription renewals with a single cron event, rather than running 100 individual cron events). On VIP, Action Scheduler is able to leverage VIP’s Cron infrastructure for even better performance.
WordPress environments on the VIP Platform are configured to route transactional email (e.g., password resets, user registration notifications) through WPVIP’s mail servers.
GitHub repository
Every WordPress and Node.js application hosted on WordPress VIP is supplied with its own GitHub repository within the wpcomvip GitHub organization. The URL for the application’s GitHub repository is typically the wpcomvip GitHub URL followed by a slug version of the application’s name. For example, the repository URL for an application named “My New Application” will likely be:https://github.com/wpcomvip/my-new-application
Configuration
The wp-parsely plugin is customizable and extensible in the WordPress Admin dashboard and by using PHP and JavaScript WordPress filters.
VIP User-Agents
Incoming requests made by WordPress VIP Platform features and components can be identified by the User-Agents listed below.
Vulnerability and Update Scan by the VIP Code Analysis Bot
Vulnerability and Update Scans are an integration of Codebase Manager with the VIP Code Analysis Bot (the Bot). Vulnerability and Update Scans by the Bot scan pull requests made to an application’s wpcomvip GitHub repository. The Bot queries the WPScan API for known plugin and theme security vulnerabilities and available version updates.
Runtime Logs
Runtime Logs provides aggregated, near real-time application logs including PHP errors logs for WordPress applications and output sent to stdout or stderr for Node.js applications.
