Scaling Laravel the talk!
What is Scaling? Optimization Scaling Out
• Increase requests per second • Increase speed of response
(reduce response time) • Decrease resource usage • Secondary Goal: Less Servers! What is Scaling Optimization Goal: Efficiency
• Consistent requests per second • Consistent speed of response
• Consistent despite increasing traffic What is Scaling Scaling Out Goal: Consistency
Optimization
Optimization • Eager Loading (n+1 problem) • Object Caching (decorator
pattern) • PHP-FPM (process management) • OpCache • Server Specialization (mysql optimization)
Optimization Eager Loading “n+1 problem” • Initial query returning a
Collection • + 1 Additional query per object in Collection
Optimization Eager Loading 3 Topics 6 Video Series
Optimization Eager Loading +1 queries Lazy Loading
Optimization Eager Loading +6 queries +3 queries Total Queries: 10
Optimization Eager Loading • First Query: Grab all topics (+1
query) • Foreach Topic: Grab Series (+3 queries) • Foreach Series: Grab Content (+6 queries)
Optimization Eager Loading -2 queries
Optimization Eager Loading -5 queries nested!
Optimization Object Caching Reduce DB Queries + Processing
Optimization Object Caching
Optimization Object Caching Decorators • Add behavior w/out modifying code
• Interface • Modifier(s) • Root Object (gross)
Optimization Object Caching An Interface Repository!
Optimization Object Caching Build Our Original Behavior
Optimization Object Caching Get it Working
Optimization Object Caching A cache decorator! magic!
Optimization Object Caching TopicCache::topics( TopicQuery::topics( Topic::all(); ); )
Optimization Object Caching Update Service Provider We “wrap” TopicQuery with
decorator TopicCache.
Optimization Object Caching You’re empowered to do fun things!
Optimization Review: Code Optimization “n+1 problem”: eager loading object caching:
decorators
Optimization PHP-FPM Optimizing PHP-FPM Process Management
Optimization PHP-FPM • Enable more requests per second • Trade-off
between more requests and CPU/RAM usage • Monitor your server, even if just looking at `top` or `htop` commands (preferably under load) Process Management pm.max_children
Optimization PHP-FPM Rule of Thumb (RAM - Overhead) / Memory
per Request (2048mb - 512mb) / 50mb = ~30 max processes (2048mb - 1024mb) / 50mb = ~20 max processes *check CPU usage after making changes!
Optimization PHP-FPM /etc/php/7.[1|2]/fpm/pool.d/www.conf Limits your req/sec directly (but w/ RAM/CPU
trade off) Speeds up “startup time” Keep spares around But not too many Limit potential problems
Optimization PHP-FPM apt-get install htop
Optimization Opcache Opcache enabled
Optimization Opcache • Reduce CPU and file I/O per request
• Small trade off in RAM usage • Really a no-brainer Cache PHP File Bytecode
Optimization Opcache /etc/php/7.[1|2]/fpm/php.ini
Optimization Opcache /etc/php/7.[1|2]/fpm/php.ini
Optimization Opcache • Must reload PHP-FPM after any code change
• (e.g. after any deploy) • (you’re not editing code files in production, right?) Caveat: sudo service php7.2-fpm reload
Optimization Review: Server Optimization PHP-FPM: Process Management Opcache: Free Performance
Boost
Optimization Specialization • Give MySQL it’s own server*** • Give
Redis it’s own server • Give workers their own server • etc Split Out Services:
Optimization MySQL Optimization tools.percona.com/wizard
Optimization MySQL Optimization tools.percona.com/wizard Caches + InnoDB: The interesting stuff
Optimization Review: Optimization PHP-FPM: Process Management Split Servers: Esp MySQL
“n+1 problem”: Eager Loading Object Caching: Decorators
Scaling Out
• Load Balancing (Considerations) • Laravel + Proxies (Trusted Proxy)
• Queues (tricks!) Scaling Out
Scaling Out Load Balancing • Spread traffic across multiple servers
• Remember: This is about consistency, not speed! • Also, caveats!
Scaling Out Caveats • More Servers! • LB + App
Servers • … And everything else… Load Balancing
Scaling Out Caveats Load Balancing • Decentralizing Services • Redis
(session/object cache) • MySQL* • Any other services (search, workers, cron) • Decentralizing Files • Sessions • User uploads: S3, NFS
Scaling Out Load Balancing Example: HAProxy Load Balancing
Scaling Out HAProxy /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
Scaling Out HAProxy /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
Scaling Out Example: Laravel + Proxies (e.g. load balancers) Load
Balancing
Scaling Out Trusted Proxy
Scaling Out Trusted Proxy
Scaling Out Trusted Proxy X-Forwarded-* headers
Scaling Out Laravel app/Http/Middleware/TrustProxies.php Load balancer’s IP address here 172.31.0.238
Scaling Out Laravel 172.31.0.238
Scaling Out Trusted Proxy X-Forwarded-* header values used!
Scaling Out Needed For: • Correct client detection • cookies,
CSRF token Trusted Proxy • Correct URL & form URI generation • url(), action() and similar helpers
Queues
Queues Scaling Out • Don’t make users wait • Remove
artificial timeout and memory constraints • Scale work across many servers Work outside of the HTTP cycle
Scaling Out Queues Even if you’re on one server! .env
Scaling Out Queues Personal Favorite: SQS Driver *CHEAP*
Scaling Out Queues Personal Favorite: SQS Driver **VERY CHEAP**
Scaling Out Queues Trick 1: Priority
Scaling Out Queues Trick 2: Segmentation Separate Queues
Scaling Out Queues Trick 2: Segmentation: Separate Workers
Queues Scaling Out • Put workers on a server sized
for their purpose • Scale workers separately Segmentation
• Optimization vs Scale Out • Optimization • Eager Loading
+ n+1 • Caching • PHP-FPM • Opcache • Specialization • MySQL Optimization • Scale Out • LB Configuration • Headers/Trusted Proxy • Queues What We Covered Scaling Laravel
