Publishing Pipeline v1.1.0 – Dev.to Support and What Comes Next
Source: Dev.to
New Platform Support
The publishing pipeline now supports publishing to Dev.to in addition to WordPress.
WordPress as the Canonical Source
- A post is considered authoritative once it exists on WordPress.
- Any downstream platform (Dev.to, X, LinkedIn, etc.) builds on that state.
- Republishing only occurs when the content actually changes.
This approach avoids duplicate work and keeps all platforms consistent.
Key Benefits
- Write‑once publishing
- Deterministic re‑runs in CI
- Platform‑specific adapters without content duplication
- A single source of truth stored in PostgreSQL
These features make it easy to add new platforms without rewriting the pipeline.
Future Plans: Backlink Graph
The next step is to introduce a backlink graph between posts.
How It Works
- Detect links between posts automatically.
- Track relationships in the database.
- Use this data to:
- Improve internal linking
- Strengthen SEO
- Keep related content connected over time
The backlink graph becomes meaningful once there is more than one post—now that condition is met, and many more posts are on the way.
Personal Note
I finally get to learn Python! As a DevOps engineer and *nix admin, I’ve spent years working with Puppet, Ansible, shell scripts, and the like, but haven’t had the chance to dive into application programming. This release gives me the opportunity to explore that new territory.
Release Summary
This release is intentionally small, but it lays the groundwork for more powerful features to come.
