Mac + Nginx + Percona + PHP
- chc 13y agoI thought Maria was the best-maintained fork of MySQL. Am I losing hipster cred here?
- ck2 13y agoPercona are the innodb experts and have 5.6 in release candidate. MariaDB is not going to get 5.6 features for quite sometime, it's more for people who want to focus on MyISAM. Only thing I miss from MariaDB in Percona is the progress status on large operations. Percona also contributes to MariaDB btw, it's one big happy family. Their toolkit is also excellent for all sorts of realworld needs too.
- voltagex_ 13y agoIt sounds like these forks are a net positive for the MySQL-ish environment.
- maratd 13y ago> best-maintained I personally use Maria, but that there is an opinion, of course. Percona was at it long before Maria came to the scene.
- sergiotapia 13y agoWhy Percona and not MariaDB?
- jacques_chester 13y agoSpeaking for myself, Percona is much more moniterable. Lots and lots of extra statistics and probes.
- rschmitty 13y agoWould you by chance have a link or something about how it is more moniterable? I've been using stock mysql for a while and keep reading about percona vs maria. As I'm also looking for "monitor everything" type stuff this interests me!

- ck2 13y agoDon't forget the newly open-sourced Zend Opcache which works very well with PHP 5.4. It's faster than APC, Xcache and eAccelerator.
- kayoone 13y agoThis seems nicely done and its cool that its free but i dont buy the benefits. 1. People use MAMP or similar packages to set up local development enviroments, you dont run your production websites off of MAMP on a mac server. Given that usecase scenario, who in the world cares for Apaches performance or max requests per second ? 2. Using percona might be a noble idea, but has no real advantage over mysql. 3. Web developers today work with an increasing number of different technologies and its not a good idea to pollute your local machine with all the services and packages needed. Its much better to just use things like vagrant (or VMs in general) to resemble your production enviroment as close as possible without the need to fiddle around with maintaining dozens of packages on your local OSX install. Of course if you just want to play around with Wordpress locally this is fine, but so is MAMP. And even then id still recommend using vagrant.
- michaelmior 13y agoWhy do you say that Percona has no real advantage over MySQL?
- jdjb 13y agoMost of the appeal of Percona (specifically xtradb over innodb) is only visible on the high loads of production environment. There's virtually no noticeable difference on your local development machine.
- michaelmior 13y agoYeah, I think that's a fair point if you're talking only about a development environment.
- fideloper 13y agoThe question better than "Why wouldn't I just use MAMP" is 'Why wouldn't I use Vagrant or another VM?' The benefits of learning how outweigh the 'ease' of MAMP. As Kayoone points out, polluting your main OS with so many technologies is much less than ideal.
