When we were considering switching to the Pantheon hosting platform, one of the features that made us confident in our decision is what they call Multidev.
At its core, Multidev is just a method of spinning up complete environments for code that hasn’t yet been merged into the main development branch. The main benefit to this is that it makes it incredibly easy to build a complete website environment that parallels your live site where any team member can functionally and visually test changes before they’re fully merged.
This blog post covers the WordPress maintenance support plansize.Me team’s development workflow, and how we’re using Pantheon’s Multidev to be more efficient.
