Introduction> Introduction # Redis is an open-source key value store that can operate as both an in-memory store and as cache. Redis is a data structure server that can be used as a database server on its own, or paired with a relational database like MySQL to speed things up, as we’re doing in this tutorial.

Introduction> Introduction # In this guide, we will discuss Nginx’s http proxying capabilities, which allow Nginx to pass requests off to backend http servers for further processing. Nginx is often set up as a reverse proxy solution to help scale out infrastructure or to pass requests to other servers that are not designed to handle large client loads.

Introduction> Introduction # Intelligent content caching is one of the most effective ways to improve the experience for your site’s visitors. Caching, or temporarily storing content from previous requests, is part of the core content delivery strategy implemented within the HTTP protocol.

Introduction> Introduction # When deciding which server architecture to use for your environment, there are many factors to consider, such as performance, scalability, availability, reliability, cost, and management. In this tutorial, you will learn about commonly used server setups, with a short description of each, including the pros and cons.

Introduction> Introduction # Memcached is a distributed object caching system which stores information in memory, rather than on disk, for faster access. PHP’s Memcache module can be used to handle sessions which would otherwise be stored on the file system.

Introduction> Introduction # As your websites grow and see an increase in traffic, one of the components that shows stress the fastest is the backend database. If your database is not distributed and configured to handle high loads, it can easily be overwhelmed by a relatively modest increase in traffic.

Prelude> Prelude # Nginx includes a FastCGI module which has directives for caching dynamic content that are served from the PHP backend. Setting this up removes the need for additional page caching solutions like reverse proxies (think Varnish) or application specific plugins.

Introduction> Introduction # In this tutorial, we will cover how to use Varnish Cache 4.0 to improve the performance of your existing web server. We will also show you a way to add HTTPS support to Varnish, with Nginx performing the SSL termination.

What is Caching?> What is Caching? # Caching is a method of improving server performance by allowing commonly requested content to be temporarily stored in a way that allows for faster access.
