How does this skill help with PHP-FPM configuration?

It provides specific mathematical formulas to calculate 'pm.max_children' based on available system RAM and average worker memory usage, ensuring optimal resource utilization without crashing the server.

Does it address database connection limits?

It provides implementation guides for external connection poolers like PgBouncer and ProxySQL, allowing hundreds of PHP workers to share a small, efficient pool of database connections.

What mathematical models are included for capacity planning?

The skill includes Amdahl's Law for calculating speedup limits and Little's Law for determining the number of concurrent requests your infrastructure needs to handle based on arrival rates.

Can this skill help migrate my app to a stateless design?

Yes, it includes architectural patterns for moving local file-based sessions to Redis and transitioning local file uploads to S3-compatible object storage.

Cloud Infrastructure

Optimizes PHP applications for high-concurrency and horizontal scalability through stateless design and performance tuning.

This skill equips Claude with a comprehensive knowledge base for scaling PHP environments, moving beyond simple code fixes to structural architectural improvements. It provides guidance on transitioning from stateful monoliths to stateless shared-nothing architectures, implementing Redis-backed session management, and configuring database connection poolers like PgBouncer. Developers can use this skill to perform scalability audits, calculate precise PHP-FPM worker limits based on server hardware, and apply mathematical models like Amdahl's Law to identify system bottlenecks before they impact production.
