The team over at Promet Source is sharing their expertise in a webinar showing you how to properly stress test your Drupal site. Andy Kucharski has asked me to join him in sharing best practices with anyone needing to understand the load testing process.
Andy is a frequent speaker at Drupal camps and conferences all over the country. He is recognized as one of the top minds in the world when it comes to architecting an effective Drupal implementation. Andy’s reputation recently has skyrocketed as the foremost performance specialist on Drupal technology.
Real Drupal Performance Data from Promet Load Tests
One of the coolest parts of the webinar will be Andy’s data that compares the performance of Drupal hosted on Amazon versus Rackspace. His team has done some real load testing with Drupal identical applications installed on different environments. There are statistics for AWS EC2 Small and Medium instances, and there are stats for Rackspace Cloud 2G and 4G instances.
The metrics obtained by Andy and his team are quite interesting to performance geeks like us. Don’t you want to know how much horsepower translates to what percentage of faster response times?
Andy shares their findings for number of peak users supported, as well as the experiment parameters, graphs, etc.
It should be a fun time for us geeks obsessed with speed, scalability, and performance optimization. We expect plenty of Drupal experts to attend as they learn some extremely useful information regarding the best hosting options.

See you on Tuesday!
