Connecting with the Zend DevCloud in Linux is actually quite easy if you know how to use SFTP. When you first created your DevCloud account you would have been prompted to download your private key. This is a private key that is generated, but not stored, on the DevCloud. You can then connect with the [...]
One of the things I have royally disliked about just about every cloud based development environment out there is that the tooling they offer usually has additional steps to push code onto the development instance in the cloud. I, personally, do not like having to Alt-Tab between windows to do basic tasks. Heck, I don’t [...]
Just because you want to use the Zend Developer Cloud at phpcloud.com doesn’t mean that you necessarily use Zend Studio. While I may wonder why you don’t use Zend Studio ( ) I know there are a lot of other good IDE’s on the market and an IDE like PHPStorm might suit how you do [...]
Deploying your work in Zend Studio is quite easy. You have the ability to deploy directly from your IDE, which is, in general, more for local environments, the Zend Developer Cloud or testing. The reason for this is because generally the developer should not have access to production. Therefore, the drag and drop deployment that [...]
PHPCloud.com is the landing page for our new cloud offering. Using the Zend Application Fabric you can build your applications in the same environment as you will be deploying your apps to. The application is built on my.phpcloud.com and you can then deploy it onto any platform where the Fabric is supported. But how do [...]
Connecting to the database in the Zend Developer Cloud is quite easy. You just need the container name, database name, username and password. But what if you changed containers or your password? If you want to make your application able to be easily moved between containers (and you should) here is a stupid easy way [...]

Compressing objects: 100% (711/711), done. error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 411 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Writing objects: 100% (719/719), 1.34 MiB [...]
Well that’s a stupid question, isn’t it? It’s “Development done right”, “Fast, Elastic, Dependable” and on “Any Cloud”, right? If you are unclear as to what phpcloud.com is, what the Zend Application Fabric is and what the DevCloud is then this is a good post for you. Before I say what it is, let me [...]
I started this series back in December. In fact I wrote 3 or 4 blog posts the day before I took two weeks of vacation. It’s now approaching the end of the next quarter so I figured I should actually make some progress on this. The last posting dealt with the concept of storage in [...]
One of my little projects that I’ve been working on is an example where I wanted to build a system that would scale to be able selling 100k tickets in 5 minutes. I’m happy to say I’ve succeeded, but I am not able to prove it. It turns out that SOMEONE put a quota on [...]
