## What it is
Trellis is an Ansible-powered LEMP stack for WordPress that provisions production-ready servers (Nginx, PHP 8.3, MariaDB, SSL) and provides isolated local development environments via Lima VMs. It includes zero-downtime deploys for Bedrock-based WordPress sites and is managed through the trellis-cli command-line tool.

## Use cases
- provision a production WordPress server with nginx and php 8.3
- set up a local wordpress development environment in a vm
- deploy wordpress sites with zero downtime
- automate ssl certificates with lets encrypt for wordpress
- self-host wordpress on digitalocean or hetzner
- manage wordpress server configuration with ansible
- create a new bedrock wordpress project from the command line

## When to choose
- you want full control over your WordPress hosting instead of managed hosting
- you use Bedrock and want development/production parity
- you need repeatable, automated server provisioning and deploys
- you prefer Ansible-based infrastructure as code for WordPress

## When to avoid
- you don't use Bedrock for your WordPress projects
- you want a simple shared host or managed WordPress hosting
- you're not comfortable with Ansible, YAML configuration, and the command line
- you need a non-WordPress LEMP stack
