Scaling Your Web MySQL Application (mostly PHP_MySQL) Presentation [PDF]

Scaling any web application is a problem almost every startup encounters. One day you are happily serving 10,000 users and suddenly that pesky CNN picks up on you and you are trying to keep the servers from overheating with the million users who decide to check you out.

However, it isn’t all about putting the latest hardware, more disk or more RAM. Scaling is a subtle art of truly understanding your application and your database, discovering pain points in the applicationand using various Open Source software and technologies to get you to where you want:

Topics of the proposal:

+ Creating a scaling profile of your web application. + Identifying pain points + Scaling your application + Scaling your database, especially MySQL + Are you prepared for a million visitors?
