Hi to everyone at misc,
I'm recently working on an OpenBSD-based PHP7 web application with
PostgreSQL-backend for a local government agency and was wondering
what would you recommend as the acceptable server specification. This
web application won't reach the Google or Facebook level of visits per
day, but I was hoping to prepare this be deployed and run for quite a
long time and ready for about 60,000 visits per day at most.
Your advise and recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so
much.
I don't have much experience running php apps in production, but I have
run a Django app in production using httpd and Postgres. Using a basic 4
core VM from Vultr, benchmarks showed it was able to serve over 4000
requests per second. With those kind of numbers you could easily serve
over a million hits per day. It didn't have a lot of complex DB activity
going on, so the benchmarks were more testing httpd and Djangos
throughput, but I digress. If you cluster your servers, you should be
able to hit far more.
