Sorry, you have been blocked
👀 I'm gonna give that a try!
No likey?
Sorry I was looking for how to run Ram Ranch completely from Word Perfect.
Hahaha very interesting PoV. Thanks for sharing!
This should be very doable. Especially on database part, if cron is not enough to trigger the backup, then setup async replication to mysql with persistent disk. The replication lag will be very minimal as long as not write heavy.
More advance setup can be used to set the WordPress to be highly available, and setup monitoring if 1 node unavailable, to run the ansible again.
The user uploaded files can be uploaded to s3 storage.
But is it going to make a huge difference?
Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. If you're page is cached and is in the filesystem cache, it's already in memory and no DB operations are necessary.
If you're using a CDN, it may not even hit your server.
The server is only one part of the chain.
Half the article is spent explaining "Why Do This", without a single mention of benchmarks/actual data.
Let Linux manage your RAM for you, it will cache what it needs.
For me its not make any benefit If you have production-level wordpress.
RAM was violate and Its no something you persist when "oopsie my chicken provider reboot hypervisor", AFAIK there no such solution like RAID was possible on memory-side.
I have more issue with computing CPU and connectivity rather I/O on WP.
Great article though!
indeed it can make difference for few milliseconds to compile and load WP page from RAM, than having it cached on serverside L3 cache plus using cloudflare full page cache. And if you are using CF Workers, then cached page can even be loaded from their any nearsest location to user among 200+ datacenters!!
without enforcing caching, loading WP from RAM can indeed show some performance.
