Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

Running a Craft site on Fastly

Fastly is essentially Varnish as a service. Similarly to how Heroku drastically simplifies the running of a web server, Fastly simplifies full-page caching of websites with running with dynamic content.

How Fastly Works

In a nutshell:

• Every time there is a request for your website, it is routed through Fastly instead of directly to your backend.
• If Fastly has an existing cache for the requested URL, it serves the cached page and your backend isn't touched at all.

# MIGRATE MySQL4 DATABASES TO MySQL5 - Steps for dumping and converting
# 
# Uses mysqldump and patches output to be compatible with MySQL 5.5+ (? - no sure 
# at which specific release of MySQL 5 the old style syntax support ended).
#
# Conversion is most likely incomplete. It does some essential converting where
# I regularly experienced problems during migration.

# Use on own risk, always try with test databases first. No warranty at all!
