PHP and Platform Independence in the Cloud
Wil Sinclair
Makara
Cloud technologies such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure have been getting a lot of attention lately. Despite their almost irresistible benefits, including practically limitless scalability and high availability with no hardware headaches, vendor lock-in has been a hard pill for PHP developers to swallow. In this presentation, we'll take a look at how these services can be abstracted and accessed via a common interface to make your applications portable across cloud vendors.
Zend Server - Scalability, Performance & Caching
Shahar Evron
Zend Technologies
Improving the performance and scalability of complex PHP applications usually require more than one measure - Opcode caching or database query result caching by itself is not enough.
