Thanks for the overview Dave. I saw they were rolling this out and it got my attention, but haven't had time to look at it - this video saved me time diving in myself. I know I don't need it this instant but I have a project in mind which will (hopefully) benefit from this down the road. (Actually recommended it blindly to a client rolling out a self-hosted LMS). Love what they're doing here and am wondering how their competitors will respond... but given my experience with Cloudways over the years, I'd still likely opt for their solution.
I know Cloudways sposored this but it looks great. And really well put together video and analysis Dave, thanks for this. I've used Cloudways for years at this point, working on a full Woocommerce site now and have suggested to the client about having something more comprehensive than their previous cloudways managed WP sites. I'd been considering going with WPEngine or Kinsta, but just had this niggling feeling I wanted to keep it within Cloudways, so this video is perfect timing! One question, can an existing site on a regular Cloudways VPS be moved to Autonomous? Or would it be a case of doing it manually via plugins I guess.
I'm not a WordPress fanboy. I think parts of WordPress are a complete disaster. I use a lot of different platforms too. Some open source, some SaaS. However, WordPress marketshare is 43.2% of all websites and 62.8% of all the websites with a known CMS. The market share has increased every single year for over a decade. When I hear people say that WordPress is dying, it reminds me of this Yogi Berra Quote: 'Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore because it's too crowded.' No disrespect meant by this reply. Your comment is a common one.
@@dave-swift Completely agree. I'm interested though, @davidrobinson8875, what made you think people are 'moving away from Wordpress'. I also don't mean any disrespect by that, genuinely interested how you came to that statement 😅

@TylerYanta agreed. This definitely feels like the next evolution from shared hosting > VPS > autonomous.
Excited to see where this concept goes.

I'm glad you liked the video! It's a good question, but you'd need to migrate it manually or have Cloudways do it for you.
It seems people are moving away from Wordpress but I would imagine it will be a slow transition
Edited for my own stupidity lol
