This document summarizes Kevin Schroeder's presentation on Zend Server. It discusses Zend Server's features like monitoring, code tracing, job queuing, and session clustering that help manage and scale PHP applications. It also promotes attending ZendCon to learn best practices for PHP development, deployment, and use of Zend technologies like Zend Framework and Zend Server. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the benefits of using Zend Server's code tracing feature in production environments to help identify issues.

16. How does Zend Server fit?

17. Where do the features fit?

18. The primary reason to use Zend Server is insightWhat went wrong?Who did it happen to?But there are many useful features in Server 5

19. Monitoring

20. Why do we need diagnostic tools?

21. Let’s slow that down a bit

23. Fixing problems in production environmentsLoggingMonitoring

24. Code Tracing

25. Code TracingReproducing an issue is not always possible...Dependency on specific SESSION state

26. Dependency on specific database state

27. “Replaying” the request is risky or impossibleZend Code Tracing can capture the entire execution flow...and, it is efficient enough to be used in most production environments!“Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.”- Billy Wilder

30. Job Queue

31. Job Queue – A Common Execution Flow

32. Why use the Job QueueVery easy to set upVery easy to use APIVery easy to scaleJob execution can be easily deployed as part of your application

36. Session Clustering

38. Failure Handling32the Simple Cloud API Initiative

39. Scalability & Cloud ReadinessSession Clustering provides a Graceful Shutdown mechanismWhen a machine is shut down, it will transfer all it’s sessions to a different server in the clusterAll cluster members will know to use the replacement server while the original owner is downThis process rarely takes more than 30 secondsGraceful Shutdown allows shutting down machines permanently or for maintenance without losing sessionsAllows scaling down in addition to scaling up – Cloud ready!33the Simple Cloud API Initiative
