PHP is also used to build and run popular social networking sites like Tumbler, Facebook, MailChimp, and Digg. Furthermore, PHP includes caching and opcode optimization tools that make things run even faster. PHP’s high speed makes it a good choice for building websites that need to respond quickly and handle a lot of traffic.

The measured traffic is not of your actual users; it is synthetically generated to collect data on page performance. Synthetic monitoring actively allows users to monitor the performance of their website or application with a set of controlled variables (geography, network, device, browser, cached vs. uncached) over time.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.

There’s another emerging option that we didn’t talk about there: the use of far-memory , memory attached to the network that can be remotely accessed without mediation by a local processor. Processor caches can help to hide local accesses too, but not remote accesses. Clients cache the entire tree, but not the hash tables.
