Engineering WordPress at Scale

Koddrio helps WordPress agencies, platforms and hosting providers scale faster, run more securely, and perform better. We solve infrastructure bottlenecks so your platform stays fast, reliable, and ready to grow.

Building platforms since 2014

We've helped over 400 companies and individuals with their WordPress infrastructure. We've consulted top-tier hosting providers, such as DigitalOcean, SiteGround and WP Engine. Brands like Mirantis and Xakep trust Koddrio for their scaling and performance needs.

Koddrio is a small distributed team of consultants with over three decades of combined WordPress experience, ranging from software development, systems and cloud engineering, to cybersecurity and low-level programming.

We've contributed to multiple WordPress core releases (and other OSS) throughout many years, organized volunteered and spoke at various WordCamp events across the US and Europe. Our team has worked with some of the largest WordPress and WooCommerce platforms in the world.

Services


System design & architecture

Whether you're building a new system from scratch, or iterating on an existing WordPress architecture, we'll help you make sure the outcome meets your immediate platform requirements, and is ready for your long-term goals. From single-server to distributed, highly-available and fault-tolerant clusters.


Servers & infrastructure management

Offload your entire fleet of WordPress servers to us. We'll make sure all services are up and running, hardware is healthy, software is up to date. We'll work directly with your infrastructure provider to resolve on-site, hardware and networking issues.

We support bare-metal (including KVM) services, as well as the following virtualized environments: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean, Linode. We work primarily with Debian/Ubuntu or CentOS/Fedora/RHEL systems, including hosted and self-managed Kubernetes clusters. We'll create or support your existing CI/CD practices.


Performance & load testing

We've developed an in-house suite of tools and utilities to load test various WordPress workloads, including e-commerce, LMS and other write/compute heavy flows. Continous load testing is also available at a fraction of your overly priced Grafana k6 subscription.

A performance audit will help you identify speed and memory bottlenecks in your application code and database queries. We'll consult your development team on the best ways to address these bottlenecks, without compromising (too much) functionality.


Security & penetration testing

Security audit for hosting and SaaS platforms, WordPress sites, plugins and themes. Let us ensure your platform stability, test your customer resources isolation and throttling. Let's see if a carefully crafted fork bomb can cause service disruption in your shared environment, or if a database query can crash your entire shared MySQL cluster.

We'll audit your backup systems, and your backup systems' systems. We'll test your disaster recovery and business continuity plans, or create them for you.


Training & mentorship

Advanced WordPress concepts explained. From page and object caching internals, to tracing, profiling, load balancing, scaling and database query routing. A fully custom curriculum based on your business needs, for individuals or small groups.

Ongoing mentorship for teams and projects. Frequent checkins and code review to ensure things are on track.


What we don't do. We do not do website design and development and other general agency work, including redesigns or rebuilds. We don't do CMS migrations. We don't do marketing, social, SEO or any of those other spiritual practices. We don't do CSS/JS/React and other types of frontend work. We do not manage general-purpose servers and services outside of a WordPress application/platform scope. We do not manage Microsoft Windows/IIS/Hyper-V based systems.
