Hi All, <br>I was browsing through how to improve performance of Druapl.<br>Then I came across FB hiphop can be used to build an exe file for Drupal.<br>I am planning to build an exe of Drupal 7.14 + custom modules code base.<br>
If we can build exe, it will serve two purpose.<br>1. It will be faster by 6 times (not verified yet, thats what is mentioned in some site). Looks it can server more requests per second.<br>2. The source code (custom modules) is safe. When we host either in a shared environment or in a dedicated server,<br>
still there is a chance, people may get access to your custom modules. If it is a exe, then it is much safer.<br><br>Next comes, feasibility.<br>How difficult it is to build the exe, looks for drupal 7.0 , a diff patch file is available (mostly foreach() is modified everywhere).<br>
But that patch file is quite old, probably can not be used with current source code 7.14 or 7.17 etc..<br>Did anybody try this stuff recently ? If so, please share details...<br><br>Next comes stability.<br>I am sure the PHP version of Druapl 7 is quite satble, it is tested and running live.<br>
With exe made by Hiphop, what is the stability and performance. You have any info or idea, please share.<br><br>What about the idea of Drupal developers release a patch file with every Druapl release so that Hiphop can compile and build exe without much trouble?<br>
<br>Thanks a lot.<br>Kamal<br>Net Cloud Systems, Bangalore, India<br><br>
