From: Rene Veerman on 24 Mar 2010 07:55 Hi.. As a way to take a few steps back from the kinda heated "when will php grow up and support threading" thread, i'm requesting you people list how you scale from 1 server to many servers; what's called cloud computing. In particular, i'm interested in how to set up an application that deals with great amounts of input from many 3rd-party servers, and say a million concurrent viewers who need html calculated from those input streams. So this goes beyond 1 mysql server, and beyond 1 php server. Let's hear it, coz quite frankly i have my doubts about php's ability to scale to cloud computing.

And thinking about your 'requirements', avoid mysql from that equation. There are other faster alternatives in the SQL world. Or even better think about an alternative like mongodb that scale really well. 2010/3/24 Rene Veerman <rene7705(a)gmail.com>: > Hi.. > > As a way to take a few steps back from the kinda heated "when will php > grow up and support threading" thread, i'm requesting you people list > how you scale from 1 server to many servers; what's called cloud > computing. > > In particular, i'm interested in how to set up an application that > deals with great amounts of input from many 3rd-party servers, and say > a million concurrent viewers who need html calculated from those input > streams. > > So this goes beyond 1 mysql server, and beyond 1 php server. > > Let's hear it, coz quite frankly i have my doubts about php's ability > to scale to cloud computing. > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >

Scaling to N boxes is first a matter of distributing the load.=20 Personally I like to use LVS for that - if you're aiming really high, maybe supersparrow. =20 Second you will have to look at how to distribute the data - usually th= e answer is segmentation or replication, with a few different twists.=20= To reduce network traffic and response times, cacheing comes into it in= many places.=20 --=20 Per Jessen, Z=C3=BCrich (14.1=C2=B0C)

No I'm not joking about it or telling this just by reading articles on the web. Its my experience. I moved my drupal site from MySQL to PostgreSQL (all latest) to see a huge performance boost. :) -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com |
