Over a series of articles, we’ve been building a sample application — a multi-image gallery blog — for performance benchmarking and optimizations. At this point, our application serves the same image regardless of the resolution and screen size it’s being served in. In this tutorial, we’ll...
This article is part of a series on building a sample application — a multi-image gallery blog — for performance benchmarking and optimizations. (View the repo here.)Let’s continue optimizing our app. We’re starting with on-the-fly thumbnail generation that takes 28 seconds per request, depend...
This article is part of a series on building a sample application — a multi-image gallery blog — for performance benchmarking and optimizations. (View the repo here.)In this article, we’ll analyze our gallery application using the tools we explained in the previous guide, and we’ll look at pos...
Throughout the past few months, we’ve introduced Blackfire and ways in which it can be used to detect application performance bottlenecks. In this post, we’ll apply it to our freshly started project to try and find the low-points and low-hanging fruit which we can pick to improve our app’s performance...
In the previous article, we demonstrated how to set up a Symfony project from scratch with Flex, and how to create a simple set of fixtures and get the project up and running. The next step on our journey is to populate the database with a somewhat realistic amount of data to test application performance. Note: if you ...
This post begins our journey into Performance Month’s zero-to-hero project. In this part, we’ll set our project up so we can fine tune it throughout the next few posts, and bring it to a speedy perfection.Now and then you have to create a new project repository, run that git init command locally and kick ...
