RE: [fw-general] zend.com, a bit slow?
Btw, one thing Matthew forgot to mention is that the XML-RPC goes to a legacy PHP app which is one of the main bottlenecks (which is why it wasn't trivial to fix - a lot of old code there). Over time we will move more and more business logic into the front-end layer which is new, performs much better and is also utilizing ZF.

First off, Zend.com moved to a new datacenter just a couple months ago, and we had a variety of factors that contributed to the issue: * More sites utilizing the same master database * Heavier requirements for the front-end web servers, but on machines that had slightly fewer resources (in terms of processors and RAM) * Huge amounts of traffic * Incomplete caching strategy We're working on improving the specs on the servers, and potentially providing additional servers to the pool, but that takes time. To help in the near-term, we did a number of things, but the two largest were: * We'd been using partial-content caching to Zend Platform using Zend_Cache. We quickly realized that the only reason we needed partial caching was due to the 'login/logout' buttons (which are dependent on state). We removed these (keeping only the 'My Account') button (we'll replace with a client-side solution soon). This allows us to use full-page dynamic content caching via Platform -- effectively by-passing the PHP engine entirely for requests to cached pages. * We also setup a filter in our templating engine to rewrite image URLs to the Content Delivery Network (CDN) we use for our product downloads, and set up processes to sync all images to the CDN. This offloads a ton of requests from our server, opening more apache processes for visitors. These two changes (plus a number of other minor tweaks) have allowed us to handle nearly the same amount of traffic this past week as we received last week, only this time without melting our servers while still allowing people to actually get to the site. :-) We also have a middle-tier of XML-RPC servers to which our site makes many requests. A lot of these requests are read-only, and one of my co-workers has been writing up a layer on both Zend_XmlRpc_Server and Zend_XmlRpc_Client for caching requests. Based on the benchmarks he's done so far, this could potentially be another huge performance gain. Those contributions will eventually find their way back into ZF. > On Jan 31, 2008 5:04 PM, Wil Sinclair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You *should* be congratulating us on a very successful launch of Studio > for Eclipse and Platform 2.6. ;) Seriously, tho, we've been prioritizing > getting the site back up to speed for the last week.

Re: [fw-general] zend.com, a bit slow?
Hi, As a suggestion, since I assume zend.com uses some ZF components, please let us know what caused the performance degradation and what was done to make it play nicer :) It seems a good real case advice.

Hi Federico, Thanks for the feedback! We have some videos available at http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/videos Not sure if that's what you had in mind when you said screencasts.

Re: [fw-general] zend.com, a bit slow?
Yes, congrats on launching Zend Studio 6!! I bought a license a month before the release and what can I say, I'm a big fan of Eclipse and Zend Studio, and ZS6 gives you the best of both worlds. Are there any screencasts available for ZS? I'm looking forward to attending next week webinar. For those who don't know, Yossi Leon will be talking about the latest version of Zend Studio.

Hi guys, I've been visiting the site a couple of times in the last 2 weeks, and it's a bit slow. And also, http://www.zend.com/lists.php needs some styling and is not showing the months in the drop-down menus. Nothing mayor, but I thought it was better to report it than ignore it.
