When vertical scaling hits the ceiling, sharding is the only path forward. A deep dive into partitioning strategies, consistent hashing, and infrastructure considerations for 2016.
Vertical scaling hits a wall. When your `innodb_buffer_pool_size` exceeds physical RAM, it's time to shard. We break down the architecture of distributed databases, consistent hashing, and why low-latency infrastructure in Norway is critical for performance.
When your monolithic database hits the I/O wall, vertical scaling isn't enough. We dive deep into practical sharding strategies, implementation pitfalls, and why infrastructure latency is the silent killer of distributed data.
Synchronous code is the enemy of scale. Learn how to implement RabbitMQ to offload heavy tasks, why 'ulimit' matters, and why your message broker needs the low latency of a Norwegian VDS.
File-based session locking is killing your application's concurrency. Here is how to implement Redis 2.4 for non-blocking session management to handle high traffic loads without melting your I/O.
Is your web application stalling during high traffic? The bottleneck might be your hard disk. Discover why seasoned sysadmins are ditching file-based sessions for Redis 2.2 to achieve sub-millisecond latency.
Is your single Apache server choking under traffic? Stop throwing RAM at the problem. Learn how to implement robust load balancing with HAProxy 1.4 on CoolVDS to ensure zero downtime and handle the 'Slashdot effect'.
Stop Apache from melting under the Slashdot effect. We break down how to implement HAProxy 1.4 for rock-solid stability, featuring a real-world configuration used during the recent Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud traffic spikes.
Stop letting disk I/O bottlenecks and session locking kill your application's concurrency. We explore why switching from file-based sessions to Redis 1.2 is the critical upgrade for serious deployments in 2010.
Is Apache eating all your RAM? Learn how to deploy Nginx as a reverse proxy to offload static content, reduce memory footprint, and handle thousands of concurrent connections on your Linux servers.
Disk-based session handling is the silent killer of high-traffic PHP applications. Here is why the new Redis project beats Memcached for session storage, and how to implement it on CoolVDS.
Is your PHP application choking on I/O wait? Stop storing sessions in MySQL or on disk. Discover why the new key-value store, Redis, is the future of high-concurrency session management in 2009.
File-based sessions are a concurrency bottleneck. We analyze why the emerging Redis project is superior to Memcached for session handling on high-load LEMP stacks.
Still storing sessions in /tmp? You're bottlenecking your application. We explore why the new 'Redis' project is the persistent, high-speed alternative to Memcached that European systems architects have been waiting for.
Is your site stalling under load? It might be disk I/O on /tmp. We explore replacing file-based sessions with the emerging Redis key-value store to slash latency.
Is your disk I/O choking on session files? Learn why file-based session management is obsolete and how the new Redis project offers a persistent, sub-millisecond alternative for high-load applications.
