We’ve been a partner of WP Engine for many years and one reason that we continue that partnership is the support, both for us and for our clients. And now with Atlas, they’ve listened to us, to our needs, to what we need in that product, and they’ve made it as simple as possible for us to manage a decoupled solution without worrying about hosting for all the different pieces.”
