  • performance

    Performance plugin from the WordPress Performance Group, which is a collection of standalone performance modules. (by WordPress)

  • Ghost

    Independent technology for modern publishing, memberships, subscriptions and newsletters.

    That's excellent, I have been sad to see Ghost lose support for SQLite[1]. I have been running a blog on it for years, works great.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • marmot

    A distributed SQLite replicator built on top of NATS

    Perfect! This will be a perfect use-case for Marmot (https://github.com/maxpert/marmot) to help scale CMS! People can just publish stuff, and Marmot will take care of replicating it as sidecar. Beauty of sidecar will pay off here, 0 modifications to Wordpress codebase itself to scale it out. IMO Wordpress + SQLite is a no brainer for 90% of sites on internet. I was actually surprised when I discovered the most famous CMS doesn't support SQLite.

  • wordpress-playground

    Run WordPress in the browser via WebAssembly PHP

    I love the work going on there at WasmLabs, especially enjoying the articles with in-depth technical explorations.

    After the article about running WordPress in the browser was published, there's a new project called WordPress Playground which is gradually preparing NPM or Composer packages to make it easier for people to run it.

    https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/

    They've been doing very detailed work, like making some patches to PHP and SQLite for improved compatibility with Emscripten, etc. It seems there's a lot of overlap with what WasmLabs has achieved and probably have continued to develop further. Perhaps there's an opportunity for collaboration.

  • wp-sqlite-db

    A single file drop-in for using a SQLite database with WordPress. Based on the original SQLite Integration plugin.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
