Caching! Check out Varnish, and memcached for various caching schemes.

Or if you dont want to deal with Wordpress to implement the caching, use Varnish. (also mentioned few times in this thread) I've used Varnish for some high-traffic Wordpress sites by sitting it in front of Apache running Wordpress. With wel

ELB is well suited towards web traffic versus general TCP load balancing as you could accomplish with Pound, or HAProxy. So theres a good chance ELB is mostly used to load balance between web servers to scale out horizontally as single web/

How much traffic are you really expecting on this project? Dont pre-optimize, most of the time a regular ol' MySQL table will do just fine and people over-worry about performance too early in the development process. Stick it into MySQL, if

I agree that its overkill for the use case mentioned in the article, a Makefile would be more than sufficient. I do the same for my vim configuration using `make`: https://github.com/aonic/vim-settings/blob/master/Makefile Usage: git

I find EC2 to be very expensive for development environment needs. The micro instance is a joke because of its slow IO and CPU availability, yet the small instance costs more (compared to Linode) and gives you more RAM than you'd need in a

As the price of talent in India continues to increase, the problem may be that these companies aren't willing to pay the new premium for the same talent they used to pay less for pre-offshoring boom in India. Leading them to outsource their

Could this be a sign of things to come with AT&T's relationship with Apple? The iPad 2 is rumored to include CDMA support, which could mean that like the iPhone 4 recently, the iPad 2 will be sold through Verizon and AT&T. This coul

Look into places to rent in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island (closer to the bridge, the better). Most people commute into Manhattan from the boroughs as rent in Manhattan is pretty high compared to what you can get with a 30-45m commute from

4. Instead of CPU profiling at a lower level, I'd suggest enabling profiling in xdebug for a debugging account and hit the pages and look for what pages took the longest to render (server side). Then examine the xdebug profiling logs for th

Also agree with this. I'd be happy to help you by taking a look and sharing my thoughts on where improvements can be made in the DB structure, configuration, scalability, as well as places where caching will give good results vs implementat

See if you can cache pages that don't change too often. If you don't have the time to setup Varnish or similar at least try to cache to /tmp/ Feel free to contact me (email in profile) if you need guidance or setup help

It might help to mention the stack you're on, as well as your current hosting setup. Maybe someone can help you by letting you borrow a few servers, or help you tweak things.

Just an update, I requested SES production access 4 hours ago and just received notification that I was approved. Maybe they ramped up support to handle the launch day? Or maybe it's because I've been an AWS user for years, or maybe because

And also, after you sign up for SES, you can't actually use it to send out emails to your customers until they grant you 'production' access. This process seems to be done manually as they say it can take up to 24 hours after an initial req

This is excellent. I recently moved a production website to EC2 at the last minute due to contractual disagreements with a hosting vendor. My next step was to sign up on SendGrid and configure postfix to use that for emails, SES will be bet
