We're using boost for static

We're using boost for static caching, it works well in many situations, but not suits social heavily pages.

这模块不错,有时间研究研究。

Out of curiosity, why memcached and not redis?

Redis is quite hot in recent

Redis is quite hot in recent years, it's also quite new comparing to memcached. For most of develpoers, memcached is good enough. For drupal, the integration with memcached appears more stable and popular.

are you going to do this online or offline?

StorageAPI + CDN part sounds interesting. Can You share Your approach to this?

StorageAPI and CDN are both

Posted by rogical on February 21, 2013 at 6:16am

StorageAPI and CDN are both great topics actually, for using them together, I'm following this issue Storage API + CDN, we still need to figure out a way to let them work together perfectly.

In this presentation, I'm still preparing, I'd like to share some my use experience on both modules separately, basically.

Can not wait any more!

A few more points I could think of

Hi Rogical,

Really sorry for this late reply, but I think you've probably noticed I was kept quite busy on several other things.

Just wanted to give you a quick follow up on this, after we discussed at the last Drupal Happy Hour Shanghai.

Obviously, an hour is very short to contain such a vast and technical topic, but here are a few more points, related with High Performance Tuning, that I think could be worth at least mentioning in your presentation:

Definitely, I think Pressflow, the distribution for High Performance, would be worth mentioning, even perhaps detailing a bit more.
XHProf as a tool for advanced performance benchmarking, tuning and debugging.
As an open topic, at the end of the presentation, you could perhaps also mention Hiphop Facebook (compile to C language) and how it could be integrated with Drupal (related post), for those who would like to look even further.

I hope these points will help you further complete the presentation.
I will certainly let you know if I can find any other aspects that could be worth mentioning, but so far, it looks already very complete and actually pretty challenging to keep within the allocated time.

Feel free to let me know if you would have any questions, comments, recommendations, suggestions or concerns on any of these points, I would surely be glad to provide more information or explain in more details.

Thanks again for your involvement and proposing such an interesting topic for our local community.
Cheers!

the challenge of the presentation increased a lot
