Release 8766: Fixed Blackfire enablement

Not a feature this time, but with this release we have fixed a bug where Blackfire was installed on Hypernodes by default.

In that case the setting was reported as disabled, but Blackfire was actually still being installed. If…

We chose for this because n98-magerun2 has…

Release 8728: Remote debugging with Xdebug

With this release, we are excited to announce a cool new feature on the Hypernode platform: remote debugging.

When you enable the php_xdebug_enabled setting, we spin up a separate php-fpm instance…

Release 8702: Updated New Relic

Release 8479: Now supporting WooCommerce

With this release we’d like to announce that we’ve added support for WooCommerce on the Hypernode platform! Since WooCommerce (or even WordPress) is just a PHP + MySQL application, we didn’t have to change a lot to add support for this open-source e-commerce solution. While the generic-php vhost type could technically be used, we wanted…

Release 8455: Generic PHP NGINX VHost Type

Release 8341: Logfile monitoring

With this release we’ve started monitoring the /data/web/ directory for log files bigger than 1 GB.

We believe that rotating log files is a win-win to both parties. Our backup processes…

Release 8333: Composer 2 as the default system composer
