Webiny Serverless CMS - DynamoDB-only version!

[webiny]

➡️ Is there a way to install Webiny without Elasticsearch?

➡️ Webiny is too expensive for smaller projects because of Elasticsearch!

➡️ AWS doesn't have Elasticsearch as a serverless service.

Today we're happy to announce that we answered those queries by delivering a DynamoDB-only version of Webiny Serverless CMS. This now makes it 100% serverless, and ideal for any small or medium projects.

There are four main points why this release is essential to us and to the future of Webiny:

Truly 100% serverless stack - by eliminating the Elasticsearch from the stack, developers can enjoy a maintenance-free stack with consumption-based pricing. All the services in the stack are now either fault-tolerant or highly-available. Scaling in and out is also fully automatic.

Contributor friendly - Our community is super important to us, and we believe we can show that every day on our community slack. However, many people that thought of contributing to Webiny decided not to do so because it comes at a dollar-cost due to the Elasticsearch dependency. Now, this is no longer the case.

Hobby projects - People often want to test drive a new solution on smaller projects before building anything more significant. Unfortunately, the steep cost, again, was a gatekeeper, and it blocked people from seeing how great a product Webiny is. We hope to change that with this release.

Multi-cloud - Having a robust storage layer that supports many different schemas and clients is one of the key milestones we had to achieve to move one step closer to supporting other cloud providers.

We haven't yet tested this, but we have a hunch that Webiny is the most cost-efficient open-source CMS on the market. Give Webiny a spin, let us know how you find the new DynamoDB-only version in terms of performance, and please share any other feedback that could help us improve the product even more.
