Great talk, didn't have any background going in and now I have a good idea of how I can get setup with automated setup and deployment of virtualized environments.

Good opportunity for attendees to hear about IBM i's latest updates and, generally, to understand how IBM seeks to help IBM i shops move forward without interrupting business. The Zend partnership is one facet of that. The talk was also a chance for attendees to make suggestions about how IBM could improve their experience as developers. Useful conversations.

XHProf can definately be used in production, that is what I would say it is intended for. However I would not recommend profiling every request, every 10th request is more than enough for most sites, for particularly busy sites, even every 100th request should be sufficient.

When it comes to clearing out the database, truncating table (there is only one table XHProf uses) is certainly the easiest way, but you loose all history. One suggestion is to delete all data past 90 days, or delete 90% of data past 90 days.

You recommend running this in production? Also what is the best way to clean the database? Just truncate all the tables?

It was great session to dive into Lexing and Parsing. Presentation was impressive!!!

I didn't come to this talk :( (my mistake). Can you please upload your slides ? thank you

While we don't currently use Zend Server as part of our Production infrastructure, I fully enjoyed the showcase of Z-Ray and intend to try to work it into my Development workflow. I liked the fact that it was a live demo of the product and not just a series of slides and marketingspeak. Well done, Andi.

I might disagree with some conceptions (like praising classless languages), yet great presentation.
