Using Apache + mod_php is a common and flexible way to host your WordPress blog, but it might not always be the best way. In this presentation I'll cover setting up the nginx HTTP server and PHP-FPM to process PHP scripts, what options are available to tune them and techniques for scaling up to host high traffic WordPress sites.
I work as a developer for Automattic. Most of my time is spent in the WordPress code, or on projects related to WordPress. I'm particularly interested in the XML-RPC and AtomPub WordPress APIs. Previously I've worked for a small department at a university, an ISP and large semi-conductor manufacturer. My IT work and interests touch on a little bit of everything.
