Add an eventDeep Dive into Gearman
A session at php|tek 2012
With every passing year the data that companies and application store grows astronomically, both through more data logging for business analysis and the consumption of 3rd party data (mashups), but how can those companies make sense of all that data and turn it into something useful that is constantly updating and evolving? Gearman is a very good and simple solution to this data problem. Gearman allows you to farm out work to other machines better suited to do the job at hand in a language and platform agnostic manner. During the talk I will tell stories of 2 different products where I faced a huge data processing challenges and how I solved them with Gearman. I will do demos and live coding of Gearman workers, a deep dive into the system! Welcome to the Age of Data, we have cookies.
