How PHP engineers build architecture

In the Internet era, PHP has become a very popular development language. According to statistics, PHP's market share has exceeded 80% globally. Therefore, PHP engineers play a vital role in developing and building architecture. In this article, we will introduce how PHP engineers should build a scalable and high-availability architecture.

First of all, a good architecture should be scalable. As business volume continues to increase, we need to be able to quickly expand the system to handle higher traffic. To this end, we need to design and implement a highly scalable system architecture to ensure that the system can quickly expand horizontally as business volume increases.

Secondly, a good architecture should also be highly available. When a system fails, we need to be able to restore services quickly to ensure system availability. To this end, we need to implement automatic fault discovery and automatic recovery mechanisms, and it is recommended to use containerization technology to ensure high availability and fault tolerance of the system.

Next, let’s discuss how to build a highly scalable and highly available PHP architecture. First, we need to use commonly used PHP frameworks, such as Laravel, ThinkPHP, etc., to implement the MVC development model. The advantage of MVC is that it divides the application into three parts: model, view, and controller. This structure is flexible to use, highly scalable, and easy to maintain and develop.

Secondly, we need to use caching technology, such as Redis, Memcached, etc., to reduce the pressure on the database and also increase the response speed and throughput of the system. In addition, we recommend migrating data to the cloud and using content distribution networks such as CDN to quickly transmit data to shorten access latency and increase access speed.

Finally, to ensure high availability and fault tolerance of the system, we recommend containerizing the application. Containerization can be achieved through various technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, etc. Containerization technology can quickly create, deploy, run and destroy applications. It can also help us quickly deploy distributed systems and improve system availability and stability.

After the entire system architecture is built, we also need to conduct system performance testing and crash testing to ensure that the system can support access by large-scale users and can quickly restore services in the event of a failure. In addition, we also need to do a good job in system logging and monitoring to obtain system information in real time and discover and solve problems in a timely manner.

In summary, a good PHP architecture should be scalable and highly available. We can use the MVC framework and caching technology to achieve scalability and performance optimization. We also need to migrate data to the cloud and use containerization technology to achieve high availability and fault tolerance. Finally, we also need to perform system performance testing, crash testing and log monitoring to ensure that the system always maintains high availability and stability.
