Abstract

There comes a point in time with a website when eventually need to do something in the background. There are always cron jobs, but eventually those either don’t scale well, or are not responsive enough. Learn about how to help your website efficiently scale by using workers. We’ll touch briefly the fundamental theory behind workers and how to easily implement them. We’ll learn about several different technologies to help manage workers such as Beanstalkd, Supervisord, Redis, and others. We’ll show a live demo of PHP workers performing tasks and you’ll leave with sound understanding of how to implement workers in your own application.

Video: Look At Your Data - John Rauser - Velocity 2011

Sun, 13 May 2012 20:36:25 +0000

Last year I saw some videos from Velocity 2011 that were really enlightening, and today I wanted to re-watch one of them. Of course, I hadn’t bookmarked them, or remembered which conference they were from. So after some searching and remembering, I found the video. “Look at Your Data” by John Rauser. It is an excellent video and understanding your performance data and how to get more from it. I’ve embedded it below, but I would encourage everyone to checkout all the videos they posted from Velocity 2011, its a bunch of great stuff.
