Security

Technology
The Bitpoke app for WordPress is the result of implementing the open-source Bitpoke Stack on top of the most advanced and reliable Cloud services: Google Cloud.
Performance
This comes as a natural result of a decade of experience in engineering, optimizing and maintaining no-compromise top tier hosting for Enterprise WordPress-powered properties.
Own your data
Control completely how your data is handled, stored and distributed. When content and user data are concerned, cut off the middle-manand get the chance to use exclusively a tier-1 provider: Google Cloud Storage. Benefit of all certifications and guarantees provided by the industry leader in Kubernetes and Enterprise Cloud.
Scale the WordPress backend
Take out of the revenue equation the backend scaling unknown variables. True auto-scaling and self-healing in a very elegant way when deploying and serving WordPress e-commerce apps with rush-hours. Serving visitors properly first, gaining valuable time to optimize later.
Reclaim control over infrastructure
Implement in your organization a consolidated cloud strategy that comes as a natural and logical step in 2022. Take control over the full automation flows for deployment and development.
Save thousands of hours of effort
Take the shortcut to cloud-native container orchestration. Our experience says new technologies such as Kubernetes, although with appealing features bringing major competitive advantages, have a very fast release cycle and are a moving target for engineering teams. Keeping the pace and then maintaining Kubernetes infrastructure takes a lot of time and effort.
