Weekly "ask anything" thread

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PHP

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Predis

    A flexible and feature-complete Redis client for PHP.

  • Personally, I prefer Redis for caching. I find it simple and intuitive to work with, using Predis as the connecting client.

  • Twig

    Twig, the flexible, fast, and secure template language for PHP

  • Not crazy, but not efficient either. Use a proper template engine (like Twig) and do page score tests with regular intervals. Find out what is slow, what isn't slow and target things that make your site slow down.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • xDebug

    Xdebug — Step Debugger and Debugging Aid for PHP

  • Using Xdebug's profiling features. This takes some time to learn and setting up to your environment.

  • lighthouse

    Automated auditing, performance metrics, and best practices for the web.

  • There's a lot of different tools out there, but personally I prefer Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights.

  • dokuwiki-plugin-mdpage

    A DokuWiki Plugin for Markdown Page

  • I'm using markdown page plugin (https://github.com/mizunashi-mana/dokuwiki-plugin-mdpage/), and everything is working apart from CamelCase links (which the phone Wiki uses), so I'm trying to extend the plugin to use it.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
