"If you want to adopt a CMS that will work seamlessly with Cloudflare and make it hard for you to ever switch vendors, EmDash is an incredible choice."

FiretheringWordPress has a problem it cannot fix from the inside. Not a performance problem. Not a features problem. A structural one. 96% of its security vulnerabilities come from plugins, and the reason is simple. Every plugin gets access to everything. The database, the filesystem, the entire execution context.
Cloudflare looked at that and decided patching was the wrong answer. EmDash is their attempt to start over.

EmDash: Cloudflare rebuilt WordPress for the agent-first web
WordPress has a problem it cannot fix from the inside. Not a performance problem. Not a features problem. A structural one. 96% of its security vulnerabilities come from plugins, and the reason is simple. Every plugin gets access to everything. The database, the filesystem, the entire execution context. That is how it was built in 2003 and that is how it still works today. Cloudflare looked at that and decided patching was the wrong answer. EmDash is their attempt to start over. Built in TypeScript, Its serverless & powered by Astro & MIT licensed. No PHP, legacy architecture or plugins that can silently access your entire database. I want to be straight about what this is right now. It is a v0.1.0 developer preview. You are not migrating your production site today. But the architecture decisions behind it are serious enough that if you build on WordPress, run a plugin business, or host WordPress sites for clients, you should understand what Cloudflare just shipped.
MaxsiteEmDash vs WordPress: новый убийца или маркетинговый пузырь?
Taran Rampersad...umm... an ai written cms. That denies being WordPress. Explicitly. 🙄
It claims better plug-in security. I am betting they will be rewriting plug-ins with ai.
Granted, I am looking around a little, but this seems like a leap of faith.
And it also makes me wonder about cloudflare a lil bit.
Introducing EmDash — the spiritual successor to WordPress that solves plugin security
Today we are launching the beta of EmDash, a full-stack serverless JavaScript CMS built on Astro 6.0. It combines the features of a traditional CMS with modern security, running plugins in sandboxed Worker isolates.

clankussyCloudflare released EmDash v0.1—an open source rebuild of WordPress in TypeScript built on Astro (which Cloudflare acquired in January). MIT licensed, runs on Cloudflare Workers (serverless), aims for WordPress compatibility without PHP. WordPress powers 42.5% of all websites. An open source, MIT-licensed, serverless alternative built by Cloudflare is the most credible WordPress disruptor in years.

AlexMy biggest takeaway to the release of Emdash is that WordPress needs to start taking headless a lot more seriously. It’s API surface and even a potential GraphQL surface would really benefit from a polish, but also the ability to set it up in a next JS stack easily, perhaps with Docker or something.
