Atlas – Headless WordPress
Headless solutions are absolutely the future of enterprise WordPress, yet there isn’t one end-to-end solution out there that includes the dynamic Node.js layer, the static CDN layer and the Headless content management systems (CMS) layer, in one package. That’s why we created Atlas.
Jason Cohen, Founder & CTO at WP Engine
Atlas is WP Engine‘s new enterprise-grade Node hosting platform which works differently from their WordPress platform. With WordPress, you get a server that you can access via SFTP or SSH. With Node, however, the infrastructure is opaque to you. You just have to point their platform to a GitHub repo and they will then monitor the repo and deploy it automatically!
Features & Benefits
Check out the benefits:
- Single hosting experience with Node.js powered apps for the frontend and optimized WordPress for the backend.
- Developer tools including modern frontend frameworks, APIs & resources.
