ddev VS Echo

Debugging is pretty easy with something like Ray (https://myray.app/) or Laravel Herd (https://herd.laravel.com/, despite its name runs differnet php apps just fine).

When it coems to running different PHP versions, modern PHP development has largely moved to using Docker (ddev, for example: https://ddev.com/) for that, and there's plenty Docker images for old PHP versions so it's a non-issue. I'd also imagine it be difficult to get many other outdated programming languages via a package manager.

There's now the PHP Foundation, which while relatively new in its formation, has significantly boosted PHP development and I'd recommend donating if improving the language is important to you.

Do you already want to try the new version, which is currently in alpha state? With DDEV this is super simple, just paste one command into the terminal.

For development, I will still prefer to continue with DDEV (a tool that I highly recommend). But the adventure with SQLite was very interesting, it really helped me not to pollute my termux.

I use https://ddev.com for almost all of my web project development, which basically automates all of this. Per-project databases, web containers, plugins, etc, and it’s now using Traefik as its router.

I use it with ddev for local development.

With the right combination of overlapping interests, a lot can get done and incredible things get build. See for example the Drupal book or DDEV--both are extremely active Drupal projects, with lots of community activity, outside of drupal.org.

You can go from 0 to 100 quickly with DDEV or Lando: - https://docs.lando.dev/ - https://ddev.readthedocs.io/

For local: have you tried DDEV? Or Lando? they seem pretty fast to me. https://github.com/drud/ddev

Lando works great with Linux, use DDEV for Mac. Both are Docker-based.

With DDEV you can create Docker PHP + NodeJS environments which run on every operating systems in the same way. These environment configuration can be shared via git which makes open source software DDEV a great and robust choice for team projects.

Echo for the web server.

Echo - web framework for Go

The three behaviors I've described that we want all depend on two things, the first of which is "idiomatic error handling". We need to be able to simply return err in our handlers. Unfortunately, the standard libray doesn't give us this. But some third-party frameworks do. The most popular one I'm familiar with is labstack echo, whose HandlerFunc looks like this:

In this tutorial, I will be using the Echo framework to build the backend. You can learn more about Echo here.

Some of the features: - ✅ Using Vertical Slice Architecture as a high level architecture - ✅ Using Event Driven Architecture on top of RabbitMQ Message Broker with a custom [Event Bus](pkg/messaging/bus/) - ✅ Using Event Sourcing in Audit Based services like [Orders Service](services/orders/) - ✅ Using CQRS Pattern and Mediator Patternon top of Go-MediatR library - ✅ Using Dependency Injection and Inversion of Controlon top of uber-go/fx library - ✅ Using RESTFul api with Echo framework and using swagger with swaggo/swag library - ✅ Using Postgres and EventStoreDB to write databases with fully supports transactions(ACID) - ✅ Using MongoDB and Elastic Search for read databases (NOSQL) - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Distributed Tracing with using Jaeger and Zipkin - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Metrics with using Prometheus and Grafana - ✅ Using Unit Test for testing small units with mocking dependent classes and using Mockery for mocking dependencies - ✅ Using End2End Test and Integration Test for testing features with all of their real dependeinces using docker containers (cleanup tests) and testcontainers-go library

If you come from NodeJS background, you may find Echo (https://echo.labstack.com) most similar to express.

Can I try to rewrite it using the following? I'll just hand you the code I don't care about credit, I just enjoy cleaning things up. - https://github.com/spf13/cobra - https://echo.labstack.com/ - SQLite - and not a bunch of if statements

Use a library for HTTP serving, such as Gin, Chi, or Echo. I personally use Chi, as it's just the right level of abstraction for how I like to work. Despite what others say here, don't try to re-implement everything in a modern serving library using the standard library.
