$890.00 Fixed
Problem you’re facing:
Your REST endpoint written in PHP 8.2 + Laravel serves 80 k requests/day from a t3.large EC2 instance. Average response time is 2.4 s, CPU hovers at 70 % and New-Relic shows 1.8 s in PHP exclusive time. You have not enabled OPcache, JIT or real-ip logging; APCu is missing and php-fpm pm is still on static. You need faster UX without upgrading hardware.
What I will do for you (step-by-step):
- Take AMI snapshot for rollback safety.
- Install and configure OPcache (128 MB, validate_timestamps=1, revalidate_freq=60).
- Enable PHP 8.2 JIT (tracing, buffer 64 M, max root buffers 1024).
- Switch php-fpm from static to dynamic (pm.max_children=50, start=20, min_spare=5, max_spare=15).
- Add real-ip module to nginx so Laravel TrustProxies works behind ALB.
- Install APCu (laravel cache driver) and warm application config/cache.
- Add micro-cache (1 s) for 404/static assets inside nginx.
- Deliver 1-page runbook so you can repeat the same on staging.
Deliverables:
- Updated php.ini, www.conf, nginx.conf committed in your repo.
- OPcache GUI one-file dashboard for future monitoring.
- ab result CSV + New-Relic comparison PNG.
- Rollback AMI ID tagged pre-optimization-backup.
Business value:
API latency drops below 1 s without touching code; mobile users stop complaining; you postpone expensive instance upgrade; finance sees lower CPU credit burn.
Why choose me (Junior):
- LFCS certified, 40+ VPS tunings, average 55 % latency cut.
- Response time <1 h on weekdays; 7-day email support included.
- Provide Terraform snippet if you want to repeat on Auto-Scaling group.
