Improve documentation for performance use

[ttoine]

The user doc for merchants is quite good and up to date, thanks to the good work from the PM team of the PrestaShop company.

However, the project documentations, for developers of users, one important point is missing: how to run big PrestaShop websites with high traffic.

This must be addressed to gain trust and confidence for big users of the community, or for users looking for software with better reputation on performance.

Todo:

• find a good tech with skills, experience, and time
• investigate (started)
• write docs and tutorials
• publish doc
• if needed, fix identified issues in the software

A consultant has been hired to work on this very topic, starting in September 2019

@ttoine If the consultant was @tomlev then this task is done 😄

His work was stored into the developer documentation with PR PrestaShop/docs#434 (merged)

[ttoine]

then, let's merge it. When this will be done, we will be able to close this ticket :-)

The PR adding the benchmark is already merged.

[matks]

But I dont know if this is enough. The PR explains how to benchmark. It does not fully explains how to run big PrestaShop websites with high traffic. However other PRs are working on it, like PrestaShop/docs#515

[ttoine]

sorry but not everything is published, yet.

There's a white paper waiting to be published. Ping @toutantic and @djodjo3

[djodjo3]

We are getting close on the White Paper !
And I have got a few other things in the pipe about scaling and performances.
We will hopefully see this subject better covered in the coming weeks 😉

White paper end of 2020 https://content.prestashop.com/hubfs/WhitePaper/PrestaShop_System_Performance.pdf

Can we mark this item as done?

[ttoine]

I though that there would be an other document about multi-server architecture. But maybe this is not anymore on schedule?

I think this would be a very nice project to raise PrestaShop reputation. Is there something we can read since 2020?

Would have loved to work on the multi-server architectures, there are so many things to explore, compare and test - just the distributed file system part could have been a huge thing.
Though, that's not on our scope anymore ^^'

Not that I'm aware of :/
