This group is dedicated to solutions and approaches for high traffic, high performing Drupal sites. As such, it will deal with a lot of information around the rest of a typical Drupal "stack" -- the operating system, web server, database, and PHP tweaks that combine to support the Drupal application.

Drupal Camp Mexico City! ¡ Más de 1000 visitas en una semana !
Estimados Drupaleros,
Es un gusto ver la rápida respuesta que hemos tenido a nuestro fugaz anuncio del próximo Drupal Camp en la Ciudad de México.
¡ Hemos generado más de 1000 visitas en una semana al Landing Page!
Además el tema de Large Scale Drupal ha llamado la atención tanto de Drupal Association como del OCTO team (la oficina de Dries) de Acquia quienes se han puesto en contacto para ofrecer su ayuda y posible participación.
Definitivamente me parece que México es un mercado virgen y muy interesante con muchas promesas de expansión.

Recommendations for potential high performance site
Hello,
Me again. I tried setting up a fairly complex site a few months back and it was a bit of a disaster speed-wise. Some of the problems being that I was probably on crap hosting (started off with shared then VPS). I eventually gave up and moved my experiment to Wordpress and a new host, where I still had loading issues, so was forced to learn more about server configs. I moved to Nginx, and tried caching and the likes and it turned out excellently.
So now I want to give Drupal another shot, because it's still the best option for what I want to do. But I want to get it right from the get-go this time.

Map all the select queires to slave
Hi,
*I have a heavy traffic sites approximately 50k users per day and it is a Indian News portal.
*The site is running on Druapl 7.22 and Mysql 5.5
* The site has a Load Balancer ,2 Application servers with 100GB of Hard Disk and 20GB of RAM each and 2 DB Servers(Master/Slave).
*The front end caching mechanism is varnish with 10GB of Storage Size and CDN.
The issue is even though we have these much things, the slow queries affects the sites performance and every day the sites goes down. So I am planning to map all select queries to Slave or any one suggest to get rid of this issue.

Caching breakdown
Hey all-
While we found plenty of info on caching on D.O we are looking for more of an hierarchical breakdown to help our content owners get more involved with caching their evergreen content for longer periods than the content that changes more frequently. Can anyone briefly write down the order in which the various components cache? IOW, does one supersede another? I wrote down my impressions below:
1) Page
2) Panel
3) Block
4) View
The way I understand it is Page cache will trump all other cache settings.

Handling large spike of un-cachable requests.
Hi all.
I've been tasked with building a high performance, high capacity website for a client and so have been reading up on best practices. I'm getting familiar with the cache based approach for both authenticated and anon. users, APC, varnish etc - however I'm finding it difficult to find best practices regarding non-cachable requests.
-- EXAMPLE --
Suppose my website were to give away 500 free donuts to the first 500 people who correctly answer a multiple choice question. This figure would be stored in a field called "QTY" on the "freebie" content type.
Read moreExample of interactive big sites running Drupal
Hi,
I'm trying to find some examples of big interactive sites running Drupal in a fast/decent manner. By big I mean more than 1+ million page views per day. By interactive I mean with many logged in users (20000+ logged in/day out of over 500K registered) and with content being continually posted/updated (150000+ nodes). So I'm not really interested in a site that has tons of pageviews but just a few logged in users (and the rest hit varnish or other long-term cache).

Read moreAPC Configuration on Drupal 7 Site
Hi everyone,
I am currently working on the scalability of a site and had APC installed. I'm still new at this and just followed some tips on setting it up from this site: http://andrewdunkle.com/how-install-apc-alternative-php-cache-drupal-7
I followed and applied the settings for the shm-size etc. so I'm not sure what I'm currently doing wrong.
The apc.php file is also on our root domain. (http://www.atheistrepublic.com/apc.php) What I'm wondering is why the graphs are changing everytime i refresh the apc.php page?
Is that a normal thing or I have a setting I didn't add?
