Overnight batch syncs stop working the moment an AI feature depends on the data. Five steps toward a real-time data pipeline: pick the high-impact flows first, read the binlog with change data capture, and keep the old job running until the numbers agree.
HealthPress.io runs clinic programs in Malta, hospitals in Dubai and a certification course reaching 60 countries on one consolidated WordPress.com setup. A look at why Bela Grundmann stopped managing servers, and what breaks when you don’t.
The 7.0 release schedule is paused while the Core team validates another release candidate. My notes on the April 15 Dev Chat agenda, Gutenberg 22.9, the Twenty Twenty-Seven team, and why I would rather wait.
