Rebuilding a Decade of Journalism — 70,000 Articles, Zero Downtime, Built to Handle Breaking News
A prominent independent Syrian newspaper had 10 years of journalistic history and over 70,000 articles sitting on an aging WordPress installation that was buckling under its own weight. They needed a complete infrastructure rebuild — faster, more secure, and capable of handling 10,000 daily visitors without flinching during breaking news spikes. I migrated every article, rebuilt the entire server architecture from scratch, and delivered a platform their own team could operate independently.
