PHP & MySQL isn’t just a reference, it’s your definitive playbook for building rock-solid, high-throughput web applications and services that scale from a single VPS to a global microservices mesh. Whether you’re tuning a legacy LAMP stack or designing cloud-native systems, this book equips you with the patterns, practices, and deep-dive strategies to deliver mission-critical PHP & MySQL software with confidence.

What You’ll Learn

✔ Core PHP & Data Modeling

– Design secure authentication and authorization with RBAC, ACLs, and ABAC

– Model relational data: normalization, foreign keys, transactions, and isolation levels

– Manage schema evolution with migrations, seeders, and versioned workflows

✔ Performance & Caching

– Analyze query execution plans, craft composite and covering indexes, and avoid full-table scans

– Leverage Redis, Memcached, and MySQL query hints to slash database load

– Maximize PHP throughput with OPcache, connection pooling, and optimized InnoDB settings

✔ Scalability & Data Distribution

– Architect master–slave replication, read replicas, and semi-synchronous failover

– Split your dataset across shards and partitions for unlimited write capacity

– Load-balance traffic with HAProxy and Nginx, and implement zero-trust routing in service meshes

✔ API & Frontend Optimizations

– Build RESTful endpoints with proper status codes, HATEOAS links, and pagination

– Introduce GraphQL, schema stitching, and field-level security for flexible data fetching

– Integrate CDNs, bundle/minify assets, extract critical CSS, and lazy-load media for lightning UI performance

✔ Deployment & DevOps Automation

– Define multi-stage Docker builds and containerize your PHP & MySQL stack

– Author CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI for build-test-deploy consistency

– Execute blue/green and canary rollouts on Kubernetes and cloud platforms to eliminate downtime

✔ Observability & Resilience

– Centralize structured logging with the ELK stack and correlate with Prometheus metrics

– Instrument distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or SaaS APMs like New Relic

– Implement event-driven workflows with RabbitMQ or Kafka, CQRS, and circuit breakers for fault tolerance

Who This Book Is For

• PHP developers and architects crafting large-scale web applications, microservices, or APIs

• DevOps and platform engineers automating builds, deployments, and observability for LAMP and containerized environments

• Database administrators and backend engineers tuning MySQL for peak performance and horizontal scalability

• Technical leads standardizing patterns for security, reliability, and continuous delivery across teams

With production-tested templates, reusable code samples, and end-to-end examples, PHP & MySQL is the essential guide to building future-proof, high-velocity, and resilient applications where every millisecond and megabyte counts.
