Performance and Scalability

Overview

This module was created to allow for selective cache clears in highly cached Drupal environments where clearing the entire cache at peak traffic times could bring down the site.

Because of the complexities of the Drupal cache system, use of this module is only recommended for experienced developers who are familiar with how the Drupal cache system works.

Field SQL norevisions provides a field storage backend using SQL that does not create a revision table for each field.

The purpose of the module is to reduce the amount duplicated data that is saved on large Drupal sites that do not use revisions. It has the additional performance benefit of halving the number of queries during creating entities with fields.

The module includes a small patch for views in order to work with fields create using the new backend.

WARNING: Once this module has been enabled there's no going back :)

Introduction

cache_warmer is a drush command that hits a set of URIs of a drupal site based on the freshness of the content.

The main purpose is to offer a complete setup for running a mostly cached drupal site without having to deal with expiration logic and instead use microcaching.

Dealing with the expiration logic is messy and inefficient it requires additional work, be it from the drupal side of things, be it from the external cache side.

Microcaching can be used with any type of site. Be it your portfolio or personal blog or a high traffic news site. You have to tweak the cache validity (or Time To Live: TTL) for your site traffic profile.

Although microcaching is particularly useful for the Nginx filesystem based cache it can be used with other caching systems like Varnish.

It can be used also for priming any type of external cache

Note that as is usual with drush although its tagged 7.x it works with both drupal 6 and drupal 7.

Enterprise search is currently in internal beta with a public release planned for March 2012. Participation prior to March is by invite only. If you would like to be involved (pre-release), or just hear more about this project, please drop us a line by using the contact form here.

What is Enterprise Search

Enterprise Search is a module which can replace standard Drupal search (on D6 or D7) with a highly tuned and pre-configured search solution powered by SOLR.

With Enterprise Search you get access to blindingly fast advanced search functionality without any of the technical overhead you would take on if you tried to configure, customise and maintain SOLR in-house.

Enterprise Search connects to Axis12's Find service which is a pay as you go service with a free trial period available (no credit card required).
