Objective
An introduction to Gearman. Learn how Gearman can help to farm out work to machines or processes that are better suited to do the work.
Description
To me scaling is all about finding the right place/tool to do the task. While PHP is good at something C or Perl could be better at something else. Server1 could be good at handling HTTP requests while Server2 might be good at data crunching. With Gearman you can easily farm out work to a specific machine or process!
Gearman is a project started by Danga Interactive(Yes! The guys behind memcached). It's open source, fast, flexible and allows you to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to call functions between languages.
This talk will be an introduction on how Gearman works and also share my experience of using Gearman in the wild.

From your Github page, looks like you have the coding experience to do this session justice. Looking forward to it.

Thanks. I just saw that there is a talk on Gearman in the list(way before I added mine), which I totally missed! Is it a conflict of interest having another one here? If so it would be fine with me to take this down.
