ViennaPHP November Gathering

This time we have something I'd call an early christmas gift for you as we were able to get an international speaker on board for this meeting!

We'll meet at 21.11.2013, 19:00.

Talks are again 45 min. + QA and mini-talks should be between 5 and 15 minutes. We have one full talk already confirmed and may have another speaker from Germany. We also made room for one mini-talk which will be given to the first person at the meetup coming up to me saying he wants to have the slot (much like Unconferences work).

AGENDA

• Announcement of our next Meetup by Sebastian (http://sebastian.goettschkes.de/)

Building high performance infrastructure for PHP applications by David Mytton (CEO ServerDensity):

"Achieving high performance is partly to do with your code but it still really depends on how you deploy your infrastructure. Dedicated vs cloud? In memory vs on disk? Spindal vs SSD? Multi data centre deployments? This talk will consider all the infrastructure requirements of a successful high performance infrastructure with hints and tips that can be applied to setup. It will use a high throughput PHP application used to process over 25TB of data each month, with billions of data points of time series data as a real world example. It will include things like OS tweaks, disk benchmarks, replication, monitoring and backups plus considerations for the overall architecture."
