Is eAccelerator still relevant?


It have been a very long time since I last saw anyone use or talk about eAccelerator, so I wonder if memcached and redis have made it obsolete?


Solution

  • PHP 5.5+ ships with the opcache extension, formerly Zend Optimiser+, by default, thereby obsoleting solutions like eAccelerator which do the same thing.

    Memcached and Redis solve entirely different problems (data persistence), not code execution speed.
