Statamic je Laravel-based CMS koji ne treba bazu — content se sprema kao flat fajlovi (Markdown + YAML). Brz, Git-friendly, dobar za design-heavy sajtove i agencije koje vole code-first workflow. Ovo je vodič za Statamic hosting u 2026.

Statamic ukratko

• Built na Laravel framework.
• Verzije: Statamic 4 (legacy), Statamic 5 (current, latest).
• Default flat-file storage (.md + .yaml fajlovi za content).
• Opciono: database driver za high-traffic ili dynamic content.
• Antlers templating ili Blade.
• Native multi-site, multi-language.
• Komercijalan: Pro license od ~275 USD jednokratno per sajt (ili Solo besplatan za single-user).

Zašto flat-file

• Content u Git-u — version control, code review za content changes.
• Nema database backup-a (manje moving parts).
• Brzi read (file system) bez DB query overhead.
• Lakša migracija između environmentu — rsync content folder, gotovo.

Zašto NE flat-file

• High-traffic shop ili komentari — flat-file ne skalira na concurrent writes.
• Search nije native — koristi external (Algolia, Meilisearch) ili statamic/eloquent-driver za database backend.
• Editorial workflow s puno editora — file locking issues.

Tehnički zahtjevi Statamic 5

• PHP 8.1+
• Laravel 10/11 (uključen)
• Composer
• Database opcionalno (SQLite ili MySQL/Postgres)
• nginx ili Apache
• Node.js za asset builds (Vite)

Sizing

Caching

• Static caching — Statamic ima native full-page static cache. Praktički isto kao statički site nakon prvog hit-a.
• Application cache — Laravel cache (file, Redis, Memcached).
• OPcache — obavezan.
• CDN ispred — gotovo nepotrebno s static cache ali pomaže za globalne posjete.

Deploy workflow

Statamic je Git-friendly, deploy je standardni Laravel pattern:

git pull
composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
npm run build
php artisan cache:clear
php please static:clear   # Statamic specific
php please cache:warm     # warm static cache

Search

Tri opcije:

• Local Search — built-in, file-based, dovoljan za 100-1000 entries.
• Algolia — SaaS, hosted, brza globalna search. ~50 USD/mj.
• Meilisearch — self-hosted alternative Algoliji. Free, brzo.

Multi-site

Native u Statamic — jedna instanca, više sajtova s različitim content + URL prefixima. Hosting impact: malo veća baza static cache fajlova, isti server stack.

WMD i Statamic hosting

WMD postavlja Statamic 5 na Laravel-optimizirani VPS — PHP 8.3, Redis za cache + queue, nginx, Node 20 za Vite builds. Static caching uključen u onboarding. Git deploy workflow s GitHub Actions ili Gitea Actions. JetBackup za content folder (jer baza minimalna/none). Meilisearch self-hosted setup ako trebaš veću search funkcionalnost.

Paketi:

• Statamic Portfolio: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM — od ~15 EUR/mj.
• Statamic Pro: 2-4 vCPU, 4-8 GB RAM — od ~40 EUR/mj.
• Statamic Business: 4-8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM + Meilisearch — od ~100 EUR/mj.
