Re: Load balance CakePHP between 2 EC2 instances

Hi John,

I'm reaching out to you because we have a cakephp site with daily page views in the 30-50k region. We have a number of issues with the site relating to database sessions, configuring our load balancer, setting up additional nodes, persistent session issues, and so on.

I would like to find out if you are interested in helping out with this site and I would be very happy to pay you for your services.

Is this something you'd be interested in?

Anthony

No sticky sessions, through my experience with load balancing my particular cakePHP application ( and various others ) I've found that sticky sessions does not evenly balance the load across machines, particularly if they are all serving site assets IE: images, style sheets, javascripts

However, the application that I run serves over 1 million pages a day and 300k in unique users. 

The biggest performance gain I've seen was when I moved caching ( Including schema caching ) over to a dedicated "memcached" server.

I've also moved over my PHP session to memcache VS database sessions and seen a significant performance gain.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I'll try and advise where I can.

Thanks John. I also see that you're using HAProxy for the cluster. Sticky sessions for CakePHP?

Yes.

I have a cluster of 6 nodes serving my site.

We are currently using CodeIgniter in another project. To handle large
traffic (we get around 60k pageviews per day), we load balance between
2 EC2 instances.

Is it possible to load balance using CakePHP as well? Also, would it
be easy to add another server in the cluster using CakePHP?
