WordPress
The world's most widely deployed CMS, powering roughly 40% of all websites, with a massive plugin/theme ecosystem. Its standout trait is unmatched maturity — every scaling, security, and hosting problem it hits has a well-known, well-documented solution.

⚙ Full Stack
PHP application backed by MySQL/MariaDB, traditionally server-rendered with a huge plugin/theme ecosystem written in a mix of procedural and OOP PHP; scaling recipes (object cache via Redis/Memcached, CDN for static/media, read replicas) are well-established industry patterns.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Scales extremely well using long-established recipes — object caching, CDN offload for media, read replicas for the database, and multi-web-server fronting a shared MySQL — because it's the most-scaled CMS in existence and every bottleneck has a known, documented fix.

Deploy as a wordpress pod + mysql pod (mysql.pod:3306), with wp-content mounted on a persistent volume for uploads/plugins; official Docker images and mirror.gcr.io coverage make this one of the easiest apps in the batch to containerize, though plugin-driven filesystem writes mean it isn't naturally stateless without an object-storage plugin.
