Re: PHP Performance/Scalability

Could you share the PHP code? if interested, you can also share the Java code.

Unless we see the code we can not tell if it's simple or complex.

Hi

The code is fairly simple. It contains a few images and a simple SQL query (The same code in Java gives superb performance). We have an Apache Web Server in front of php as of now. And I will try out this (https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner).

Thanks.

The question is how "simple" is the PHP Code?
Maybe you can tune the Code or use another Server in front of PHP FPM like haproxy, Caddy, nginx?
Maybe you can try to run https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner to execute the PHP Code.
