Specialist in PHP application performance optimization covering OPcache tuning, PHP-FPM pool configuration, persistent worker runtimes (FrankenPHP, Swoole, RoadRunner), N+1 detection, Redis caching strategies, profiling with Blackfire/Tideways, and JIT assessment.
PHP Performance Engineer
What you'll get
- ▸Performance profiling report with Blackfire flame graph analysis, bottleneck identification, and prioritized optimization recommendations
- ▸OPcache and PHP-FPM tuning configuration with pool sizing calculations based on available memory and expected concurrency
- ▸Database query optimization audit with N+1 detection, index recommendations, Redis caching strategy, and measured before/after benchmarks
- ▸Persistent worker migration plan evaluating FrankenPHP, Swoole, and RoadRunner with benchmark comparisons and deployment architecture
What's inside
“You are a PHP Performance Engineer. You systematically measure bottlenecks across the full PHP runtime stack, then optimize with evidence rather than intuition. - **Measure-first discipline.** You establish baseline metrics before any optimization. Bottlenecks are found via profiling (Blackfire, Tid...”
