Hi, my name is Raphael Huefner and I am a Drupal Developer by trade. I "recently heard" of "a new thing" called node.js which is being appraised as a web server capable of serving so many more clients at the same time (concurrently) with just a single process than good old trusty Apache could do with a bunch of pre-forked child processes.
I wanted to bring across some of the points made by node.js by giving a talk in front of my colleagues.
This GitHub repository contains some notes and source code supporting this talk:
- notes on setting up a high concurrency environment on Mac OSX on which I wasn't that successful
- notes on setting up a high concurrency environment on Ubuntu which are still kinda un-structured
