Announcing a new Meetup for the AtlantaPHP User Group!
When: Thursday, May 4th, 2016 — 7pm-9pm
Directions: Take I-285 to Cobb Parkway/US-41. Go south & turn left on Akers Mill Rd. At the 2nd traffic light, go left into Cobb Galleria, then an immediate left into the parking garage. Enter the 600 bldg & tell security you’re there for AtlantaPHP, 14th floor.
SPECIAL NOTE: Since the Braves stadium is now open, and this will be a game night, there will be people monitoring the parking deck entrances. You will need to say you are coming to a meeting at ShootProof to be allowed to park (and also mention it to building security, as always.) It is best to arrive no later than 7pm.

PRESENTATION: Lassoing the Clouds: Best Practices on AWS by Brian DeShong, Director of Engineering at ShootProof, @bdeshong
Constructing and maintaining a fault-tolerant, high-performance cloud-based web application environment doesn’t magically happen; you must take deliberate steps to ensure that your environment is maintainable and available 24/7, even in the event of failures. This talk will explore some of the best practices to apply when hosting your PHP-based applications on Amazon Web Services. Topics include operating web servers, relational databases, load balancers, file storage, CDNs, and monitoring.
About Brian: Brian is Director of Engineering at ShootProof, an Atlanta-based company building web-based tools for professional photographers.
