Thank you guys for your input. It seems to be the same techniques I'm already aware of, only that I lack the experience working at that level. I'm curious to play with Laravel Forge - I'll have to check that out. Thanks again!

Hi all, I just had a phone interview with a pretty big company and I was asked if I have experience with high-traffic websites (10k active users~) to which I stated "No". At best I have experience with 110 active users (according to google analytics) which is more or less my current job. Thing is, I have no idea where to start learning about managing a high traffic website other than getting lucky. So I ask this question to all of you: how would you manage a high traffic site and what tools and techniques should I be looking at? Currently to maintain the sites I work on I concat/minify css/js files, set cache expiry dates, and use development tools to locate bottlenecks. On the server-side with PHP my models are only selecting data that is necessary from their datasources etc. What would be the next level from this? If it also helps, I use Laravel.
