We’ve been working on Trustdom, a WordPress hosting platform built on top of Kubernetes.
The idea came from our frustration with traditional WordPress hosting — scaling is limited, updates and maintenance often cause downtime, and agencies managing multiple sites don’t get much flexibility. Kubernetes gave us a way to approach it differently:
Each site runs in its own namespace for isolation.
MySQL is clustered and replicated
Pods can scale horizontally (multiple per site) when traffic spikes.
Media is stored in S3-compatible storage so pods stay stateless.
CDN is handled via BunnyCDN for global speed.
Right now we’re targeting developers and agencies that want:
Git-based workflows
Zero-downtime updates
Almost limitless scaling
High availability without managing infra themselves
We’d love feedback from the HN crowd:
Does this solve a real pain for you (or your clients)?
What would you want in a “developer-first” WordPress host?

Are there technical choices here you’d challenge?
