Bitpoke Stack is Your Open, Cloud-native WordPress Infrastructure
Bitpoke Stack is the first open-source serverless hosting platform that bridges two major technologies: WordPress and Kubernetes. The foundation of the Stack lies in the convergence between emerging technologies and a highly performance-driven industry.

Setup steps to get you up & running
You’re 3 lines of code away from the infrastructure you were looking for. It’s that simple!
First, get a Kubernetes cluster, then:
$ helm repo add bitpoke https://helm-charts.bitpoke.io
$ helm install --namespace bitpoke-stack -n stack bitpoke/stack
And to launch your site:
$ helm install -n mysite bitpoke/wordpress-site --set 'site.domains[0]=www.example.com'
The Bitpoke Stack is being tested on Google's GKE. Soon, testing will continue on the other major public cloud Kubernetes-enabled providers: AWS, Microsoft Azure and Digital Ocean, as well as on bare metal Kubernetes installs.
Our goal with the Bitpoke Stack
You might be wondering why we do all of this and share it with you, too.
The Bitpoke Stack is not just another project. We’re going (and working!) full speed ahead to become a standard in hosting scalable WordPress and interoperable hosting providers.
We can achieve this goal only by fostering a collaborative community of dedicated developers that believe in the mission of democratizing the WordPress infrastructure as we know it.

Didn’t make up your mind yet? Here’s what industry leaders think about this idea.
The work that Bitpoke is doing to democratize infrastructure is really important - they're both raising the bar on what it means to offer quality WordPress hosting and lowering the barrier of entry.

WordPress Ecosystem ConsultantI've been very impressed with Stack, especially since I know first-hand how desirable but also tricky it is to run WordPress on Kubernetes reliably. It's awesome, too, that the stack is open source!
