Rust worker offloads heavy jobs from WordPress to local machine
wp-executor is an open-source Rust binary that polls WordPress for jobs and runs them locally, avoiding PHP request overhead or third-party SaaS. It supports six typed capabilities like shell commands and file operations, gated by allowlists on both server and worker. The project aims to provide a simple, self-hosted execution boundary for WordPress workflow engines.
