Core principles to make performant PHP applications
Some core principles for 2013/2014 to performant PHP applications:
- Upgrade to PHP 5.5 with Zend OpCache or APC using PHP-PFM + Nginx
- Stay up to date with your framework + dependencies (using Composer)
- Optimize your session store to use signed cookies or database with caching
- Cache your database and web service access with Memcache, DBA or Redis
- Do blocking work in the background with queues and tasks using Resque or Gearman
- Use HTTP caching and a reverse proxy cache like Varnish
- Profile code with Xdebug + Webgrind and monitor production performance
