Documentation route

Platform.sh documentation describes a platform. WordPress VIP documentation describes a hosting product.

This route rewards the docs that let an engineer understand the whole system, not just the parts the host chooses to expose.

Platform.sh

Platform.sh documents configuration files, service relationships, build hooks, and routes as public contracts. An engineer can read the docs and predict the deploy.

WordPress VIP

WordPress VIP documents its managed environment well, but the underlying infrastructure stays abstracted. That is by design, and it is also the limit.

What drives the verdict

Config surface

Platform.sh exposes .platform.app.yaml and services.yaml. The deployment is reproducible from the repository.

Onboarding

A new engineer can read the config and the docs in the same afternoon and understand production.

Abstraction

WordPress VIP keeps infrastructure behind a support relationship. Convenient, but not inspectable.
