Have you come up with the next big thing? Coding it is something every new startup faces but what happens when it really does becomes the next big thing and servers start to crawl under the load?

In this workshop we'll cover a number of ways to identify bottlenecks and how to solve them once found. We'll also cover how to perform some extra scaling without expensive hardware.

- Benchmarking (f.ex. ab)
- Profiling with Xdebug
- Memcache
- APC
- and various other caching methodologies

Hopefully this will prevent you from becoming the next failwhale.

First 90 minutes of background information probably could have been covered in 15-30 minutes. More time should have been spent on Xdebug and profiling, though that section had a better pace when it was presented. Shame that time ran out.

Was helpful to see so many tools highlighted for these areas...

Was also very helpful providing a working environment via virtual machines for attendees to follow along with.
