Next generation Drupal hosting stacks
What do you need to host a Drupal site? A LAMP stack, right? Well, maybe not anymore.
Tools like containers and Docker are changing the way we manage and configure servers and making the lives of engineers easier. As technology changes, that old LAMP stack is quickly being outpaced by stronger, faster, tools.
Nginx vastly outpaces Apache in speed and functionality. MariaDB outperforms MySQL and can even can run full master-master clusters.
To create the amazee.io stack, our engineering team put in countless hours tweaking and testing until we found the right combination of tools and tech for our hosting stack. For this new platform, not just any old setup would do.
In this session, we’re going to open our laptops and we’re going to share our findings with you. All of it. We’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and disasters for you to avoid. Come prepared to geek out.
We’ll dig into:
- Which software we’re running
- The reasons behind to run these
- Why we ditched Redis and memcache
- Configuring Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB MySQL Master-Master Cluster, Varnish 4, Solr and more
- The future of hosting stacks
Come to this session if:
- You are interested in Drupal hosting
- You are interested in the tools needed run a Drupal hosting stack
- You currently have a Drupal hosting stack running and want to know “what’s coming next”
