Let's talk about DevOps.

First, a story

It's about

Amazon & Google

1 SEC DELAY

AMAZON

โ†’ $1.6 Billion

LOSS in the profit

GOOGLE

โ†’ 20,000,000

LESS searches per day

DevOps

Developement + Operations

โ†’ DEVELOPER: Programs web/applications.
โ†’ Ops: Deploys, manages, monitors web/applications.
โ†’ DevOps: Does both, and manages both.

Why Host WordPress Yourself? And why choose DigitalOcean?

You can be smart about your progress!

"There are too many software!"

"Security, Monitoring, Up/Down Times"

"Scaling, Load Balancing, API Limiting, etc."

I'm overwhelmed
& Confused.

Risk Analysis

๐Ÿค”

Take a calculated risk

I have a backup server ready if anything goes wrong

I knew the No. of emails to send to get a client

#3.
WordPress!

WordPress is Open Source

Community is the best part

#4.
DigitalOcean!

Best Cloud Compute Community

Lots of helping tutorials

#5.
EasyEngine!

Built by a WordPress VIP Partner Agency

Next best thing with lots of control

Turning pro is a mindset.

โ€œSimply put, a professional is someone who takes their responsibilities and career seriously and is willing to make the tough choices that have to be madeโ€”often at their own expenseโ€”for the purpose of doing what they know is right.โ€

Whew. That was a lot.

Perspective is important

WordPress will change your life if you let it!

DigitalOcean can save you a lot of money and help you scale your architechture!

EasyEngine helps you keep in control while automating a lot of grunt work for you!
