PHP Architecture Audit

During the PHP architecture audit, Ibuildings will help you identify barriers to full productivity of your PHP application. You will be provided with options for removing those barriers and optimising the performance. When your application is assessed by experienced PHP consultants, the underlying cause of performance problems can be quickly identified, and then addressed.

The Process

The architecture audit begins with a detailed evaluation of your application, taking into account everything from usage volume to the operating system. All items are evaluated relative to predefined benchmarks. Once the application has been reviewed, the data will be analysed, issues identified, and recommendations developed.

What We Look For

Below are sample components for the PHP Architecture Audit:

Application

• Horizontal scalability analysis
  
• Session clustering viability
  
• Database scalability analysis
  
• Load balancing viability
  
• Web server architecture and configuration
  

Infrastructure

• HW requirements
• Load Balancing
• Networking requirements
• Number of servers
• Capacity Planning
• Database servers

Process

• Development process
• Release process analysis
• Deployment analysis
• Metric gathering
• Revision control
• Stress testing
• Quality Assurance Process Analysis
• Resource management
• Scalability planning
• Distributed development analysis
• Migration strategies

Because every customer’s needs are different, and every application is unique, the actual components chosen during the architecture audit may vary based on your needs.

The Result

You will receive a comprehensive report clearly defining our findings and giving practical advice for you to follow. The report will both show you what the problems are and – just as importantly – advise you on the measures you can take to resolve them. In this way, you can ensure your application performs optimally. If you wish, we can implement the recommendations for you as well.
