Required Reading: Essential Pantheon Documentation
Recommended documentation to learn about Pantheon WebOps management platform's technologies.
Pantheon is not web hosting. It is a highly-tuned, distributed, and instantly scalable WebOps platform. Pantheon also integrates development best practices and tools into the platform, to get the developer back to writing code, not configuring servers and carrying pagers.
Our tech includes NGINX, PHP, Object Cache, Global CDN, Pantheon Search (Solr) and Git—common tools in web development.
