High Performance Sites w/ Nginx and Memcached

Can your website handle 10,000 requests at once? Most PHP applications run on Apache by default with limited or no caching. This becomes a huge problem when your site comes under any serious load. Nginx is a high-performance webserver that can demonstrably handle more simultaneous connections than stock Apache with a dramatically reduced memory footprint. Used in conjunction with Memcached or other cache mechanisms, you can easily handle anything the web throws at you with relatively little hardware. This talk should cover how to install and configure nginx with PHP (via fastcgi/php-fpm) and give an overview on how to set up and used Memcached in conjunction with an opcode cache (APC) in your PHP application.

My first meetup in SoFloPHP group, good job James, it was interesting to know how you are approaching a busy website, you brought to us an advanced topic, using a non-blocking server as Nginx, PHP-FPM to consume php apps as fastcgi and memcache for caching it is not something we do every day, good talk.

Great presentation James. I really like your approach on preaching knowledge and visibility over just using what's "cool" or what someone says is "fast".

  I think a better question is "how long is the pizza going to last".
