Technical insights and best practices for Performance Optimization
In 2015, mobile users won't wait. We dissect the Nginx and Kernel configurations required to drop API latency, focusing on the specific challenges of Norwegian connectivity.
In 2015, 'The Cloud' is often just a server in Germany. For Norwegian traffic, that 30ms round-trip is killing your conversion rates. We dive into the physics of latency, Nginx edge caching strategies, and why data sovereignty is becoming critical.
It's 3 AM. Your load average is 20. Do you know why? A deep dive into diagnosing Linux performance issues, identifying 'steal time' on oversold hosts, and why latency to NIX matters for Norwegian businesses.
Is your API gateway choking under load? We dissect kernel-level tuning, Nginx optimization, and the critical importance of low-latency infrastructure in Norway to keep your response times under 50ms.
Is your REST API choking under load? We dive deep into Linux kernel tuning, NGINX upstream keepalives, and why CPU Steal Time is the silent killer of API performance in virtualized environments.
Is your server swapping during peak hours? We ditch the bloated Apache mod_php model for the lean, mean architecture of Nginx and PHP-FPM. Learn the specific configurations to handle thousands of concurrent Norwegian users without melting your CPU.
Is your server swapping out under load? The old LAMP stack architecture is dead. Learn how to implement PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) with Nginx to triple your concurrency without upgrading your hardware.
Is your Apache server thrashing under load? Stop relying on the bloated mod_php handler. We dive deep into configuring PHP-FPM, Nginx, and APC to handle high concurrency without melting your RAM.
Is your web server struggling under load? Learn why moving from Apache's mod_php to PHP-FPM and Nginx is the single most effective upgrade for your infrastructure in 2011.
Is your server load spiking despite low CPU usage? The culprit is likely I/O wait. We break down why 15k RPM SAS drives can't handle modern web apps and how SSD arrays change the math.
Is your application hanging on 'waiting for localhost'? File-based session locking is likely the culprit. Here is how to implement Redis 2.2 for session handling on Debian Squeeze to reduce latency.
Is Apache with mod_php eating your RAM? We break down the transition to Nginx + PHP-FPM on CentOS 6, optimizing process managers for maximum throughput and explaining why I/O performance is the hidden bottleneck.
Is mod_php strangling your server? We dive deep into configuring PHP-FPM on Linux to handle high concurrency without the memory bloat, specifically for the Nordic market.
Still running Apache with mod_php in 2011? You are burning money and resources. Learn how to implement PHP-FPM with Nginx on CentOS 6 to handle 3x the traffic without upgrading hardware.
Is Apache's process overhead killing your VPS performance? We dive deep into the Lighttpd event-driven architecture, compare configs, and analyze why hardware choice—specifically SSDs—matters just as much as your web server daemon.
Disk latency is the silent killer of web applications. We benchmark Redis vs Memcached, explore the new persistence features in version 2.2, and explain why high-performance VPS hosting in Oslo is critical for Norwegian data handling.
Is Apache 2.2 choking your RAM? We benchmark the industry standard against the event-driven speed demon, Lighttpd. Discover which web server architecture handles high concurrency best on Norwegian infrastructure.
Still running Apache prefork with mod_php? You are wasting RAM. Here is how to migrate to PHP-FPM on Nginx to handle the C10k problem while keeping your Norwegian latency low.
Hard drives are the bottleneck of 2011. Learn how to eliminate disk latency by offloading session handling to Redis 2.2, ensuring your high-traffic PHP applications stay responsive even during peak load.
Stop letting Apache eat your RAM. We break down why PHP 5.3's FPM is the new standard for high-performance hosting and how to configure your pools for maximum throughput.
File-based sessions are a silent performance killer for high-traffic PHP sites. Learn how to implement Redis 2.2 for session handling to eliminate locking issues and lower latency.
Is your MySQL database choking on session writes? Discover why switching to Redis 2.0 for session management is the single best upgrade for your high-traffic PHP application, and how to configure it for Norwegian compliance.
File-based sessions are killing your disk I/O. Learn how to implement Redis 2.0 for persistent, high-performance session management on Linux servers.
It's 2010, yet many developers still rely on slow disk I/O for session management. Discover how switching to Redis 2.0 improves latency for Norwegian users and why persistence beats Memcached.
Is Apache eating all your memory? With PHP 5.3.3 now including FPM in the core, it is time to abandon the bloated mod_php architecture. Learn how to tune process managers, leverage APC opcode caching, and stabilize high-traffic sites on Norwegian infrastructure.
Is your PHP application hanging on session_start()? Discover how moving sessions from disk to Redis reduces latency, satisfies the 'Personopplysningsloven', and why CoolVDS's local SSD infrastructure is the perfect home for your NoSQL implementation.
Is your server swapping to death under load? With PHP 5.3.3 merging FPM into the core, it is time to abandon mod_php. We detail the migration to Nginx + PHP-FPM for superior performance in the Nordic market.
With PHP 5.3.3 finally merging FPM into the core, the days of Apache mod_php bloating your RAM are numbered. We analyze the performance gains of switching to Nginx + PHP-FPM and how to tune your worker pools for low-latency delivery in Oslo.
It is 2010, and using Apache Prefork for high-traffic sites is no longer sustainable. We explore how the newly integrated PHP-FPM in PHP 5.3.3 drastically reduces memory footprint compared to traditional mod_php.
Stop letting Apache mod_php eat your RAM. Learn how to configure PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) with Nginx to handle massive concurrency without upgrading hardware.
