Learn how to implement an Apache reverse proxy using mod_proxy and mod_proxy_balancer to abstract backend servers and distribute traffic efficiently.
Apache's MPM choice—prefork, worker, or event—determines memory use and concurrency. Learn when to switch to event MPM with PHP-FPM and how to validate the change safely.
Duplicate messages can break downstream processing. Kafka’s Exactly‑Once Semantics (EOS) lets you guarantee a message is processed once, even after failures. This blog walks through the core idea, how it works, a concrete example, trade‑offs, and a quick checklist to get EOS up and running.
Use Apache Event MPM and mod_proxy to offload TLS, static files, and connection management from your app server. Includes a minimal config, tuning tips, and common pitfalls.
mod_php forces every Apache connection to carry a full PHP interpreter. Switching to the Event MPM with PHP-FPM decouples them — here's why it matters, how to wire it up, and what breaks.
Learn how to enable Apache's mod_expires, set expiration rules by MIME type, verify the headers, and avoid common pitfalls that lead to ineffective caching.
How to put Apache 2.4 in front of a backend app server with ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse — including trailing-slash pitfalls, timeout tuning, forwarded headers, and the limits of mod_proxy_balancer.
An architecture note for implementing Apache mod_deflate: covers minimal server-scoped configuration, trust boundaries, operational verification, and failure modes.
Learn how to implement zero-downtime maintenance and high availability using Apache's mod_proxy_balancer to manage backend application clusters.
