Nginx FastCGI response buffer sizes

By default when Nginx starts receiving a response from a FastCGI backend (such as PHP-FPM) it will buffer the response in memory before delivering it to the client. Any response larger than the set buffer size is saved to a temporary file on disk. This process is also explained at the Nginx ngx_http_fastcgi_module page document page.

Since disk is slow and memory is fast the aim is to get as many FastCGI responses passing through memory only. On the flip side we don't want to set an excessively large buffer as they are created and sized on a per request basis (it's not shared).

The related Nginx options are:

-- gets all fields from a hash as a dictionary
local hgetall = function (key)
local bulk = redis.call('HGETALL', key)
local result = {}
local nextkey
for i, v in ipairs(bulk) do
if i % 2 == 1 then
nextkey = v
else
result[nextkey] = v

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.
