A high traffic WordPress website needed my help, and we came to their
rescue. After some weeks of pain, dodged bullets, and brutal lessons
learned we got it running nice and smoothly. Here’s what I learned,

This talk will cover cloud providers and how they differ, using a
content delivery network, WordPress caching and load balancing
configurations, and more importantly, how to measure all of it to
ensure that you’re getting the most out of your setup without wasting
money. This talk will also glaze over some of the service
orchestration tools in Ubuntu that will allow for a really elastic
WordPress installation that can grow with you.
