How to Set Up Environments: From Playground to Production
How to structure environments to balance agility with stability? At Webiny, we recommend going beyond the classic development–production split by introducing a development playground for experimentation, a staging environment for QA and stakeholder validation, a pre-production environment that mirrors production for final testing, and a robust production environment for live content delivery. Why multiple environments matter for safety, quality, confidence, planning, and collaboration? Ultimately, adopting this simple structure helps teams innovate quickly while keeping the codebase and user experience stable.

The High Cost of Undefined Scope: Why Enterprise CMS Projects Fail… Or Not
Enterprise CMS projects sometimes fail not because of bad technology, but because of bad assumptions. Here, by “failing” I don’t mean that you don’t have a working solution in the end of the day, but you have a project that went significantly overbudget and missed the original planned go-live date by a few months. As a consultant and now as a product delivery manager at Webiny, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is to align expectations, define scope early, and ensure every stakeholder knows their role before the first line of code is written. Recently, we worked with a large enterprise client to implement a tailored version of one of Webiny’s applications. At first glance, it seemed straightforward: define the MVP scope, customize the existing application to meet their requirements, and hand it over to their delivery partner so that they can integrate it with their existing CRM and perform some polishing and further extensions where needed. We quickly realized that scope clarity would make or break this project.

Migration vs. Recreation of Content: Lessons Learned From Our Enterprise Clients Replatforming
When replatforming from a legacy CMS to Webiny, one of the earliest and the hardest decisions you will face is whether to migrate existing content or start over and recreate it all from scratch. This is not just a technical debate. It’s a decision that will affect your architecture, your timelines, and your teams. Having helped enterprises to migrate from WordPress, Drupal and Adobe Experience Manager to Webiny, we’ve learned first-hand that the answer isn’t always obvious and there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but hopefully in this article, we can share some learnings with you that can help you on your journey with Webiny.

Data Privacy: Why Enterprises Must Keep Control of Their Data
In today’s enterprise environment, data privacy is more than a compliance issue; it’s a strategic imperative. While SaaS platforms offer convenience and ease of use, they often cost enterprises control, visibility, and long-term flexibility. As content systems evolve into AI orchestration layers, the question of where and how data is hosted becomes critical. This article unpacks the growing risks of SaaS, from data lock-in to compliance gaps, and explains why future-ready enterprises need infrastructure they own, trust, and can evolve. Webiny offers exactly that: a scalable, secure, open foundation built for what’s next. Learn more about Webiny here.
