Multi-Node Support for PHP

Few points to consider…

•  Available for beta after AppSphere •  4.2 Controller is recommended •  All apps will share same proxy on server •  Licenses will stay same (per node) until adjusted •  Currently in beta, hoping to GA in 4.2 •  Proxy functionality will be replaced with LibAgent in 2016

NODE.JS DEEP DIVE

Challenge

Heavy Memory Consumption by the Node.js Application

Copyright © 2015 AppDynamics. All rights reserved. 23

Memory Leak Diagnostics

V8 Manages Memory

Pro

•  You don’t have to worry about it.

•  You don’t have to write code to manage it.

Con

•  You don’t have control over it.

•  You have to find a way to find your memory leak.

“I can actually say we've had no outages in production on a Node.js cluster, since we've been porting over, and I can credit a large part of that due to the monitoring of AppDynamics.” Stace Baal, Director of Engineering @ eHarmony
