Hello,
I wonder if anybody has done some stress testing on MU.
Your suggestions regarding the following case would be more of appreciated.
The case is the following.
- 8 core, 32gb ram.
- Apache 2, mySQL 5 and PHP5
- A small amount of plug-ins are installed, just the most necessary.
- 500k unique posts (article pages) requests per hour in 50 blogs.
- Media content (images) is relatively small, around 5%.
- Articles are a paragraph long and have additional 5 custom fields.
- Commenting is allowed for not registered users and is done by most users.
- On pages there are no widgets or similar post previews or etc.
What do you think would be the performance of the site with no application optimization, with only application optimization and with application and server optimization?
I am asking the question in such a way, because I need to plan my initial scalability strategy before I can find somebody with more experience with MU to help me out with constant improvements.
While I went trough the forum, maybe for my case it would be enough to put a caching plug-in, but still I would appreciate if somebody could confirm it.
