February Meetup - WordPress, Next.js and Cloudflare

Welcome to the EdinburghJS February Meetup! We will be meeting on Tuesday 17th
February, 18:30 for light refreshments and talks at the Perk offices, Nova
House, 3-5 Ponton Street.

Our talk this month is from Oleksandr Piekhota on WordPress, Next.js, and
Cloudflare:

WordPress is still a solid content platform, and modern JavaScript frameworks
are great at rendering UI - but problems start when content, frontend, and
infrastructure are all tied together on the same server.

In this talk, I’ll walk through a production setup where WordPress is used
purely as a GraphQL content API, a Next.js application consumes that API, and
Cloudflare provides the edge layer for frontend delivery, caching, and scaling.
The frontend runs on Cloudflare Workers via OpenNext, but the patterns apply to
any framework that can run on Cloudflare’s edge platform.
