Should I use Pantheon.io WebOps Platform?

WebOps platform for building, hosting, and managing WordPress, Drupal, and Next.js sites - pantheon.io

· 1 month ago

Buy if you run a portfolio of WordPress, Drupal, or Next.js sites and need workflows, governance, and hardened security in one place. Skip it if you host one simple site — cheaper managed hosting will do the job.
