Scaling Mozilla's websites with PHP
08/12/2008 de 16:30 à 17:30 - amphi
Every instance of Firefox calls home every day.
mozilla.com, addons.mozilla.org, and support.mozilla.com, along with many other Mozilla sites, serve hundreds of millions of pages each day. All of Mozilla's websites are built with PHP, and frequently with third party Open Source PHP projects like CakePHP, Drupal, and TikiWiki.
In this session I'll discuss some of the challenges we have faced, including:
- Our infrastructure and scaling and performance analysis approach,
- The challenges and rewards of basing our websites on existing Open Source projects,
- Localization,
- Security issues
