Objective
We would like to share some of the learnings from scaling PHP to millions of requests per day at Flipkart.com
- How do you make your PHP webapp horizontally scalable?
- How do you ensure performance at scale?
Description
Flipkart.com is one of India's top 100 websites in terms of traffic. We've learnt many scalability tricks while getting here. Learnings that we believe could be interesting to many others.

Is this for Development or Deployment track? It's categorized as Deployment but reads like Development.

I agree. If we had a track for "Scalability", this would fit right in. :) Going by the talks on Memcache, Membase, etc.; IMO, I think it would be a good idea to introduce a track for Scalability.

But the whole event is about scalability. Development and Deployment are subdivisions within it.

Right! My bad. :)

It's a mixture of both, actually. I wish there was a way to check both. I'm changing it to Development for now.

if it is as good as the service they provide , then how about a webcast.

We will attempt to webcast the event, but it's dependent on several factors including the quality of the internet connection and the equipment of the video recording guys. We could webcast with a webcam, but the quality from that isn't usually great.

How about recording videos and putting them up here after the event is over?

That's planned. There will be videos posted here after the event.

Great use of PHP scalability. Quite useful for websites with large number of requests. I'd request you for a screencast too. Thanks !
