Move this thing to Wordpress #69

Closed cmcavoy closed 11 years ago

cmcavoy commented 11 years ago

Leave all content as is, but serve it from a Wordpress install. Use WPBadger for the badges 101 quiz. Otherwise, a straight port to Wordpress.

openbadgesorg.mofostaging.net is up and ready, but this will not be 'prod'.

DB monitoring is up: http://opsview.mofoprod.net:3000/status/service?host=OpenbadgesOrg-Production-DB

jdotpz commented 11 years ago

Got the cert from Gozer, installed on a new ELB, and installed SSL plugin for wordpress.

jdotpz commented 11 years ago

cc @cmcavoy @andrewhayward I've fixed the paths, so wordpress is no longer in any url. Ive also setup a small memcache node and installed the w3_total_cache plugin, and pointed page, object, and database cache at the memcache cname openbadgesorg-cache-c.mofoprod.net:11211

So after tuning this a bit and getting caching up, etc, load tests showed a much happier app.

Earlier( https://rpm.newrelic.com/accounts/255689/notes/1658 ) -~2 requests per second before app was slow

Now( https://rpm.newrelic.com/accounts/255689/notes/1660 ) ~80 requests per second.

Well, using this type of setup, I can achieve incredible throughput. http://www.ewanleith.com/blog/900/10-million-hits-a-day-with-wordpress-using-a-15-server I have a micro running that can handle just a ton of requests, i got it up to ~15k per second.

jdotpz commented 11 years ago

I'm willing to give it a shot with the openbadges.org site, if we want.

brianloveswords commented 11 years ago

It's moved, right?!

jdotpz commented 11 years ago

Yup, it is.
