Tobias Nyholm

I have some availability in the coming months for consultancy around PHP/Symfony, managing tech debt, tackling legacy, scaling code and processes, adopting the right architecture or approaching open source the right way. (1/n)

Remembering Ryan Weaver With deep sadness, we share that Ryan Weaver — co-founder of SymfonyCasts, father, husband, beloved teacher, and friend — has passed away after a long and courageous journey with brain cancer.

Congratulations to the release of PHP 8.4 support <3

Tempest, the PHP framework that gets out of your way Tempest is a modern framework designed to enable developers to write as little framework-specific code as possible, so that they can focus on application code instead.

Im looking at tempestphp.com. Is this what will take popularity from Laravel?

I’m flummoxed. Have you seen this behavior in ramsey/uuid & can help reproduce it?

If you’ve seen it in symfony/uid, also chime in—it’ll need to be fixed in both libraries. So far, it sounds like it only affects ramsey/uuid.

Foundry 2.5 is released 🎉

This release comes with "in-memory" repositories support, and a nice performance improvement.

github.com/zenstruck/fo...

The "in-memory" behavior is still experimental, feedback is very welcome!

#php #symfony @zenstruck.com

Anyone knows if enabling FFI in PHP has any downsides or a performance impact?

#Symfony 7.3 comes with a new JSON encoder component that is super efficient (10 times faster than the Serializer component with 2 times less memory). Great way to stream JSON payloads when combined with StreamedResponse.
