This blog is based on a presentation by Guillaume, Field Chief Technology Officer at Upsun, and Robert from Ilwiin Technology during the AI Action Summit. The original French presentation has been translated and edited for clarity and accuracy. The AI field is advancing significantly, presenting organizations with the question: Should they choose open-source or commercial AI models? This choice impacts everything from costs and data privacy to long-term business strategy.

WordPress powers over 40% of the web, but not all WordPress installations are created equal. Whether you're a solo developer, managing an agency, or overseeing hundreds of sites, the way you install and manage WordPress can make or break your workflow. In a recent live stream discussion, we dived deep into three popular WordPress installation methods: Vanilla, Composer-based, and Bedrock. Each approach has its merits, but which one should you choose? Let's break down the showdown.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is set to reshape how financial institutions in the EU manage and contract with their technology providers. Since January 17, 2025, DORA requires financial entities to meet stricter rules for managing digital risks, especially when it comes to the third-party ICT (Information and Communication Technology) service providers they rely on.

Deploying a large-scale Drupal application involves numerous decisions, and one of the most significant is where to host it. Should you keep everything on-premises, use a managed hosting provider, or opt for a modern PaaS like Upsun? Each approach has trade-offs. In this article, we’ll dive into the real-world technical pitfalls of on-premises and managed hosting, and then explore how Upsun addresses those challenges in an enterprise Drupal context.

Deploying a Drupal 10 or Drupal 11 application can feel like walking through a minefield of potential problems. Even a well-built Drupal site can stumble during deployment due to a few common pitfalls. For IT managers and technical project leads, understanding these pitfalls—and how cloud automation can solve them—means fewer late-night emergencies and smoother launches.

A Shopware store goes from smooth to sluggish—pages take 10 seconds to load, even longer in some cases. What happened? In this post, we tell the true story of how one overlooked plugin setting nearly collapsed a storefront, and how it was resolved using native tools. If you’re shipping code in Shopware without clear performance observability, this is your wake-up call. Everything was working, until it wasn’t.

For many enterprises, Drupal has been the backbone of their web operations for years. It’s a battle-tested CMS that handles complex content needs with elegance. But business needs have evolved. Today, it’s rare for a company to rely only on Drupal. They are spinning up Python APIs, .NET backend services, Node.js apps, Java microservices — expanding their digital ecosystems around Drupal’s core.

We ran real-world load tests across seven different infrastructure plans—from Grid to Dedicated Split—using realistic conversion rates, bot traffic blends, and ERP-driven API imports. The findings were clear: performance scales predictably with resources, but only if your code, cache, and configuration keep up. This blog post walks through key results, why API load is disproportionately expensive, and what metrics matter most. How well does Shopware actually perform under load?

Shopware is a powerful platform, but its performance depends entirely on how it is used. In this article, we explore the most common and avoidable causes of slowdowns in production environments, including plugin overload, cache fragmentation, and misconfigured admin settings. Whether you are preparing for a high-traffic event or simply aiming to keep your storefront fast and responsive, this guide will help you identify the root causes of performance regressions.

When you’re running an enterprise-level Magento store, you can’t afford to leave infrastructure decisions to chance. With large product catalogs, high transaction volumes, and complex integrations, your hosting choices can directly impact your bottom line—and your sanity. The right solution gives you the performance, reliability, and scalability you need while reducing complexities, maintenance overhead, and cost.
