    Speeding Up The Snail - Presentation Transcript

    1. Speeding up the snail Marcus Deglos and making Drupal scale
    2. Who is Marcus? Software engineer with Ibuildings Drupal contributor PADI scuba diving instructor
    3. The problem with frameworks
      • The cost of the framework:
      • - include files
      • - function calls
      • - database queries
    4. So why use Drupal?
      • Quicker to develop
      • Easier to maintain
    5. Turbo-charging your site Optimising the stack Tuning Drupal Adding hardware Benchmarks
    6. Optimising the stack
      • Apache
      • PHP
      • MySQL
      • APC extension
      • Varnish
    7. Apache
      • Pre-fork vs Worker mode
      • Number of servers / clients
      • Impact of .htaccess / AllowOverride
      • Impact of SuExec
      Optimising the stack
    8. PHP
      • CGI vs Apache Module vc FastCGI
      • php.ini:
        • Memory limit - choose for stability
        • register_long_ arrays
      Optimising the stack
    9. Database
      • Optimising the database
        • Monitoring with the slow query log
        • Add (and remove) indices based on usage
        • Consider table types: MYISAM vs INNODB
      • Optimising the service
        • Custom compilation
        • Configuring my.cnf
      • Consider your hardware
      Optimising the stack
    10. APC
      • APC is an op-code cache
      • Install and forget?
      • Monitor APC use
      • APC tuning
        • APC memory usage
        • APC stat: checks if files are modified
        • APC filters
      Optimising the stack
    11. Varnish
      • Varnish is an HTTP accelerator
      • Requires D7, Pressflow, or a patch to Drupal core
      • New mindset for personalising content - think ESI
      Optimising the stack
    12. Tuning Drupal
      • Drupal page cache
      • Optimise JS / CSS
      • Memcached
      • Using the Drupal cache
      • admin/settings/performance
      • Page caching improves performance for anonymous users
      • CSS and JS aggregation improves front-end performance
      Admin : performance settings Tuning Drupal
    14. Memcached
      • Direct replacement for Drupal’s DB cache
      • To setup:
        • Install the Drupal module
        • Configure settings.php
        • Install the memcached daemon
        • Install the PECL extension
      • Minimal tuning (multiple cache ‘bins’)
      Tuning Drupal
    15. Using cache_get and cache_set
      • Use a static cache for simple queries static $foo = null;
      • Use cache_get and cache_set for complex objects:
        • Multiple DB queries
        • Slow remote resources (e.g. SOAP)
      Tuning Drupal
    16. Adding hardware
      • Separate the web server, database server and HTTP accelerator onto their own dedicated hardware
      • Horizontal scaling: double the hardware = double the performance?
      • Hunt the bottleneck
      • Scale with the cloud - Project Mercury
    17. Benchmarking
      • ab
      • Jmeter
      • Online services
    18. Real world performance
    19. Page cache Real world performance
    20. Memcache Real world performance
    21. APC Real world performance
    22. Varnish Real world performance
    23. Summary
      • Page cache: 2x - 8x
      • Memcache: 2.5x
      • APC: 1x - 2x
      • Varnish: 50x ?
      Real world performance
    24. Final thoughts
      • Off the shelf : Pressflow, Zend Community Server
      • Quick wins:
        • Page cache
        • Memcache
        • APC
        • Varnish
    25. That’s all folks!
