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.

Andi's given me the go-ahead to respond to this. :-)

There were a few things that affected our performance. 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.

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. If
not, drop me a line.

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

Send this sort of report to [EMAIL PROTECTED], please; the framework

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.

Cheers,
