PHP UK Conference 2017 - Terrence Ryan - Serving 30,000,000 Requests an Hour in the Cloud

This session presents a case study focused on scaling an App Engine application to handle 30 million requests per hour. The speaker discusses the architectural decisions, necessary code modifications, and technology trade-offs involved in effectively managing variable traffic while maintaining budget constraints. Attendees will learn strategies for ensuring that their application can scale down as well, preventing unnecessary costs from idle infrastructure.
