“Unlock the Secrets: Transform Your Local WordPress Development with Studio’s Game-Changing Workflow!”

Studio architecture: A closer look
Launched in April 2024, Studio is a relatively new addition to the local development ecosystem. Unlike more traditional setups, it runs on WordPress Playground and uses an SQLite database by default, rather than MySQL, making it lightweight and simple to use. While tools like wp-env offer a flexible, command-line-based approach, Studio provides a more user-friendly experience, similar to how GitHub Desktop simplifies Git workflows. Studio also doesn’t require any external dependencies, unlike wp-env, which requires Docker.
