The Future of PHP Is In The Clouds
summary
Argues that PHP evolves from a templating language into a cloud-ready platform, cites composer and the FIG push that forced PHP 5.3 adoption, and shows infrastructure as code with a Rackspace PHP library creating machines in one line of code. Gives a concrete experiment: an early Yahoo service hits 0.6 requests per second until caches are added and adding front-end caches raises throughput about 25 percent. Recommends prototyping architectures, treating servers like cattle, and measuring results.
