Announcing x-ray
When first creating x-ray, I felt it was necessary to display an excerpt of the source code location where the call to ray() was found. Rather than roll my own solution, I extracted the excellent Snippet class from spatie/backtrace into a package. From there it was a simple matter of adding functionality for multi-line line selections and a few other minor changes. You can view the final permafrost-dev/code-snippets package and its documentation on Github.

How to profile your PHP applications with Xdebug
Funny timing — I just spent 4 hours this morning comparing Xdebug, Blackfire, and New Relic.
After feeling like my SaaS application is starting to hit some scaling bottlenecks, I had a play with all 3 services to try and get some insight for a real-world application.
A brief summary:
- Xdebug: Slow. Fiddly to set up. Fine for a development environment and day-to-day profiling, but things like Clockwork[0] are, practically speaking, far more insightful.
- Blackfire: Terrible UX. Difficult setup process. Their free plan is almost impossible to evaluate as it only shows you glorified stack traces, most of which are littered with vendor and framework files. I didn’t want to commit to paying a full year of their standard plan (no monthly payment unless options, unless you go for the highest tiers), so I happily uninstalled and moved on.
- New Relic: wow… one command and a server reboot later, and I’m seeing performance profiling, consolidated dashboards, error logging, MariaDB and Redis queries, frontend performance, and server capacities - with REAL data, on production! I’m very, very impressed. And it’s free for a single user…?!

Performance of Relationship queries - Eloquent vs. Collection - Impact on performance
Clockwork is a must-have for identifying hidden performance bottlenecks. It’s like DebugBar, but on steroids. Also seems to be kinda under-the-radar, it should definitely be more widely known :)
