Enjoy this free preview of High Performance Drupal, scheduled to publish later this year.
High Performance Drupal is an essential, comprehensive guide to designing Drupal’s supporting infrastructure and scalability, as well as a handbook for improving Drupal website performance. Drupal beginners will quickly learn a set of best practices in how to deploy a growable site which will withstand traffic surges. Intermediate and expert users will find this book to be the ultimate go-to reference source during initial planning for a site deployment or when implementing specific technologies such as Varnish, memcache, or Solr. The book will focus on Drupal versions 7 and 8, with Drupal 8 planning to be released in late 2013.
