Making Magento go fast By Thijs Feryn
my name Thijs Hi, is
And I’m @ThijsFeryn on Twitter
I’m an at Evangelist
I’m at a board member

Magento is kinda slow …
But tremendously flexible
The first attempts
First attempts ✓Install powerful machines ✓Lots of RAM & CPU
✓Loadbalancing on the webservers ✓Master/master replication on the MySQL servers ✓High memory limit ✓APC byte code caching
Looking for Magento knowledge
First Magento skills ✓Activate caching in the admin panel ✓Flat
catalogs ✓The Magento compiler ✓JS & CSS minification
The Magento compiler is a lie!
Use a real byte code cache instead
Things started to speed up But it wasn’t fantastic
First conclusions
First conclusions ✓It uses a lot of RAM & CPU
✓And a whole lot of I/O ✓The MySQL server gets hammered
We learned how to cache
By default on disk in in /var/cache

APC
In app/etc/local.xml <global> <cache>
<backend>apc</backend> <prefix>MAGE_</prefix> </cache> </global>
Memcached
<global> <cache> <memcached>
<servers> <server> <host><![CDATA[127.0.0.1]]></host> <port><![CDATA[11211]]></port> <persistent><![CDATA[1]]></persistent> </server> </servers> </memcached> </cache> </global> In app/etc/local.xml Multiple servers
Still there are files in /var/cache
2-level cache ✓Fast backend first (adapter) ✓Then the slow backend
(disk)
/var/cache in tmpfs mount -‐t tmpfs -‐o size=20m tmpfs /var/www/var/cache
is slow
Especially the older versions
Magento doesn’t officially work on the latest versions
But we made it work on 5.4. (with a patch)
http://www.magentocommerce.com/ knowledge-base/entry/php54-patch
Without byte code caching, you’re in trouble
We forgot that APC doesn’t work on FastCGI

S 14:08 0:00 /usr/local/php-‐5.4/bin/php-‐cgi Separate processes, no joint cache
And we forgot that APC is slowly dying
Seriously!

Opcache is awesome … and a lot faster
Everything in memory!!!
We looked at HHVM
But database tuning is also important
Which one will we choose?
<global> <resources> <default_setup>
<connection> <host><![CDATA[Master-‐host]]></host> <username><![CDATA[user]]></username> <password><![CDATA[pass]]></password> <dbname><![CDATA[magentodb]]></dbname> <active>1</active> </connection> </default_setup> <default_read> <connection> <use/> <host><![CDATA[Slave-‐host]]></host> <username><![CDATA[user]]></username> <password><![CDATA[pass]]></password> <dbname><![CDATA[magento]]></dbname> <type>pdo_mysql</type> <model>mysql4</model> <initStatements>SET NAMES utf8</initStatements> <active>1</active> </connection> </default_read> </resources> </global> R/W splitting
And all of a sudden, we discovered Redis!
is GREAT! ✓Built-in replication ✓Data types (hash, list, …) ✓Save
on disk ✓Session clustering ✓Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis by default in Magento 1.8 CE & 1.13 EE ✓No 2-level cache ✓Multiple databases ✓Authentication
Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis https://github.com/colinmollenhour/ Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis
In app/etc/local.xml <global> <cache>

Varnish
Varnish ✓Only works on product catalog & CMS pages ✓Doesn’t
work on checkout ✓Great for static content ✓No SSL support ✓Best way to cache
Hit rate kinda sucked
Turpentine https://github.com/nexcess/magento-turpentine
Turpentine ✓Community module for Varnish in Magento ✓ESI or AJAX
for session data ✓Configurable in the admin ✓VCL is pushed via Turpentine to the Varnish over Telnet ✓Takes care of purging ✓SSL termination via Nginx
Lesti_FPC When Varnish is not an option https://github.com/GordonLesti/Lesti_Fpc
In app/etc/local.xml <global> <fpc>
<lifetime>86400</lifetime> <debug>false</debug> <backend>Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis</backend> <backend_options> <server>127.0.0.1</server> <port>6379</port> <persistent>cache-‐fpc</persistent> <database>1</database> <password></password> <force_standalone>1</force_standalone> <connect_retries>1</connect_retries> <lifetimelimit>86400</lifetimelimit> <read_timeout>10</read_timeout> <compress_data>1</compress_data> <compress_tags>1</compress_tags> <compress_data>gzip</compress_data> </backend_options> </fpc> </global> Also works with other backends
Search
Full-text search on the database is stupid … and slow
…
You could use
But I prefer https://github.com/jreinke/magento-Elasticsearch
Host static files separately (~CDN) http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento- connect/onepica-imagecdn-1.html
Horizontal scalability
Loadbalanced ElasticSearch Redis Loadbalanced MySQL MySQL Loadbalanced frontend Nginx Nginx
Loadbalanced Varnish Varnish Loadbalanced backend Nginx Nginx Client Admin PHP-FPM PHP-FPM PHP-FPM PHP-FPM SSL endpoint ElasticSearch
Problem!
Cm_Cache_Backend_R edis can’t handle multiple instances
Got that covered!
https://github.com/ colinmollenhour/credis https://github.com/ThijsFeryn/ Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis/tree/ multiserver Multi-‐ server support Library
contains my patches Work in progress
Redis multi-server ✓Client-side hash distribution ✓Master/slave ✓Sentinel
Sentinel
Sentinel ✓Discovery service for Redis servers ✓Part of the Redis
core ✓Monitoring, notification & autofailover ✓Knows which are masters & slaves ✓Avoid problems when the master is down ✓Avoids problems when to master is up again ✓First connect to Sentinel, then to Redis
Loadbalanced Redis master Client Loadbalanced Sentinel Sentinel Redis slave Redis
slave
None
Magento v2?
My Redis multi-server patch in production?
Redis v3 with built-in clustering?
HHVM as the default PHP runtime?
MariaDB as the default MySQL server?
Varnish v4 support?
Use Consul for service discovery?
And that is how me make sure you sleep at
night
But don’t ask us to write Magento code for you
We have partners for that
But we can make your Magento go fast
