What articles to read on the launch of the project?

Question

PHP

Hello. I will start the project soon. Web site. Hybrid social network and chat. Designed for a specific area. I use php, mysql, nodejs. OS Debian 7. What you are interested in:
1. Please give articles or from your own words on the server test, so that I can check what loads the server is holding (maximum).
2. How to find different bugs? Any tools other than browser console or firebag. Or what advice do you have?
3. Recently there was a topic on how to update the version of the site. I didn't find her. Tell me how to update the site without restarting the server. From a repository? Would be more detailed..
4. What are the things on the site that people fall for? What attracts? After all, the version of the site I have is damp. Not everything is there yet. Well, for example, the same Toaster.ru. I would like notifications when contacting you to come in real time, so that comments are updated in real time. So that the comments do not pop out immediately. This is purely my personal opinion of what is missing here. But even though I'm not right here comfortable, I'm still sitting here. From all forums left. Looking forward to reading something interesting.
5. What books are generally worth reading for a newcomer to launch a project?
Thank you.
So, can anyone help?
