Great blog. Very Useful information.

I still wonder how application will distributes different different user requests from one server to another server. Is it something will be written in PHP code by application or some server techniques for that ???

Thanks. I believe PHP should handle memory management in the above way regardless of weather the code is in a class/method or not. Please let me know if you see any evidence to the contrary

Comment on Installing CouchDB on CentOS 5 by Adam Charnock

Ouch, that is unfortunate.

I don’t have a good answer for you on that one. All I can say is that I recently got pretty tired of the outdated packages on CentOS and am moving a number of my servers to Ubuntu 9.10.

It seems that another problem is that curl is only available at 7.15 for CentOS but CouchDB requires 7.18 . Is there a solution for this?

Wow! Thanks for this wonderful article. I was searching an article from a long time about PHP variable memory management.

Can you explain internal member and method memory management about class object and object reference?

Thanks again!

An excellent point! As a rule of thumb, I normally asume reserved instances are about a third cheaper, which would have a significant impact on the cost analysis.

However, even though I do have a number of instances running 24/7, I prefer to have the flexibility and pay the ‘extra’ money.

Each to their own really. Spot instances are also another option:

Thanks for the post!

Amazon offers both On Demand pricing and Reserved pricing. If you sign up for Reserved you pre-pay for either a one year or three year term; that then lowers your hourly pricing. If you were running a server 24×7 on Amazon you’d obviously go the Reserved route.

For high-cpu-medium as of today the On Demand price for 24×7 is:

$0.17/h * 24h/d * 30d/m = ~$122/m

For high-cpu-medium as of today the Reserved price for 24×7 with a one year term is:

$0.06/h * 24h/d * 30d/m + $455/y / 12m/y = ~$81/m

Obviously that would have a big impact on your price/performance numbers.

The results from the last example are very interesting. I didn’t know about such a memory increase when using address. Thanks for the post.

HI Aneesh,

Thanks for the comment. I don’t have any hard answers for you (I would not regard myself as a MySQL expert), but you may find the MySQL Performance Blog interesting if you have not seen it already.

I hope that is of some help!
