WordPress, Next.js, and Cloudflare

​Welcome to the EdinburghJS February Meetup! We will be meeting on Tuesday 17th February, 18:30 for light refreshments and talks at the Perk offices, Nova House, 3-5 Ponton Street.

​Our talk this month is from Oleksandr Piekhota on WordPress, Next.js, and Cloudflare:

​WordPress is still a solid content platform, and modern JavaScript frameworks are great at rendering UI - but problems start when content, frontend, and infrastructure are all tied together on the same server.

​In this talk, I’ll walk through a production setup where WordPress is used purely as a GraphQL content API, a Next.js application consumes that API, and Cloudflare provides the edge layer for frontend delivery, caching, and scaling. The frontend runs on Cloudflare Workers via OpenNext, but the patterns apply to any framework that can run on Cloudflare’s edge platform.

​Space is limited, so keep your RSVP status up to date if your plans change.

​Thank you to Perk for sponsoring this event, providing catering and the venue. Perk are currently recruiting for developer roles.
