Be the first on your block to play with the new "PHP Intelligence Platform"!

They're claiming a PHP run-time enviroment for that increases reliability, speed, java interoperability, and cluster management. Any comments?

the java integration turns me off (i'm anti java) tho it looks interesting, i'd probably check it out if it uses zend engine 2

I've been using canaveral for a little bit now, we really like it. Before we launched our 20 new tours for our 20 new sites, it was key in pinpointing errors in all the tour pages. With the alerts that it gave we were able to go threw and knock out all the errors in the pages one by one. Our tours run on multiple servers so while we were fixing errors on the master server we also identified a syncing problem with one of the servers, due to the fact the errors were still occurring on one of the nodes (servers) that Canaveral alerted us to. Canaveral also made it easy to replicate the php.ini file changes we were doing on the master server over to all the slave boxes, this was a big time saver. In addition having ZPS and ZDE all in the same place made it really nice when we started cacheing tour pages. I also know that Canaveral will support PHP 5 and Zend engine 2 shortly.

Been watching this project for a little while, it's just what PHP needs... Personally I've found working with Java servers to be a huge pain in the ass.

Yeah I was asked to beta test this a few months back and havnt been able to, but from speaking with Andi & Zeev it seems like a great product. Someday I will get it on a box and mess with it.
