Profile your PHP application and make it fly

Talk at PHP North West 2010 (PHPNW10) (English - UK)

Rating: 5 of 5

Making an application scale and go faster is often seen as a wizardly task. We read the micro-optimisation tricks posted in tech blogs and apply them with unconditional trust and great hope, and then wonder why performances haven't improved that much ("Wait, I even replaced 'print' with 'echo'!!!").

In this talk we'll see how we can take easy, practical steps we can apply over and over that really make a difference, by analysing what our application does under the hood, measuring how and where the different resources are used, eliminating the real bottlenecks and restructuring critical components to handle growing loads.

A lot of useful information, tips and tools and clear instructions on how to improve any sort of application, not just php if you like.

Excellent talk, just the right level of technical detail without being boring.

Best talk of the conference for me. XHProf is a tool I can use straight away and had no idea existed. Thanks!

Really interesting talk. Glad that it went beyond using XDebug and xCacheGrind, found the strace stuff particularly interesting.

I really enjoyed this talk. It gave a very useful introduction to strace. Lorenzo demonstrated a great depth of knowledge.
