High CPU usage PHP-FPM in Digital Ocean Server.

Job ID: 33160957

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Hello, I have a server in Digital Ocean (Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS) x64 - 32 GB Memory / 50 GB Disk) for a website with a lot of traffic - we're using redis & fastcgi micro caching.

We are receiving what resembles a ddos attack (sustained hit to server invoking php-fpm task) - however I can't see anything malicious within the access.logs.

I need someone to have a look and fix with a viable solution.

We are using Roots.io (Trellis) for our server management/provisioning.
