Welcome to the first day of launch week #2! Today, we are excited to introduce our brand new control panel! Our mission at Koyeb is to offer the fastest way to deploy applications globally while delivering an exceptional developer experience. Over the past few months, we totally reimagined how to deliver a simple, reactive, and intuitive experience to deploy, manage, and scale projects to production.

When building web applications, it's handy to break down a feature's complex processes into smaller, more manageable pieces, whether by using separate functions or classes. Doing this helps to keep the code clean, maintainable, and testable. An approach you can take to split out these smaller steps in your Laravel application is to use Laravel pipelines. Pipelines allow you to send data through multiple layers of logic before returning a result.

The upcoming PHP 8.4 release will include the brand-new feature “property hooks”, a mechanism to add logic to a class property when read from or written to. One benefit of this feature is that you do not need to protect property access with a private property and public getter/setter methods anymore. You can find out how this feature works in the RFC and other places, but in the spirit of this blog we want to focus solely on the performance implications.

When developers build applications, they need to think about how they will connect their products to data sources. Direct database access vs. REST APIs: which should you pick? Both currently stand out as two of the most popular options. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each so you can determine whether API-led connectivity serves your needs.

In Japan’s FANUC robotics factory, rows of automated machines efficiently carry out repetitive tasks that humans once performed. Remarkably, the factory can run autonomously for up to 30 days without human supervision. Hirotec Manufacturing eliminated manual inspection time to 100% by integrating cloud technologies, IoT, and small servers on the factory floor. The Siemens plant in Germany offers online monitoring capabilities for machine tools distributed worldwide.

DreamFactory specialises in REST API generation for any number of database types however an underrepresented benefit is the ability to mount and manage any third party API via a HTTP service connector. This gives you the ability to generate documentation and secure an existing API as if it were created natively within DreamFactory.

Imagine you're at a buffet, eagerly approaching what you think is the dessert table, only to find an empty space where the chocolate cake should be. That disappointing moment? That's pretty much what happens in your code when you encounter the infamous "Cannot read properties of undefined" error. Just as you can't slice a piece of cake that isn't there, JavaScript can't read a property of an object that doesn't exist. But don't worry!
