Overview

What I built & why

Free developer tools panel for WordPress. Shows database queries, hooks, conditionals, HTTP API calls, errors, and a lot more.

Built and maintained by John Blackbourn; essential install on any WordPress development environment.

Process

Challenge & solution

The challenge

A vendor lock-in clause forced a tight ninety-day migration window with zero room for service interruption.

The solution

Modeled the entire pipeline as a single source of truth, then layered real-time UI on top so every team saw the same status.
