A guide to PHP attributes

When building web applications in PHP, there may be times when you want to add metadata to annotate your code that can be read by other parts of your application. For example, if you've ever used PHPUnit to write tests for your PHP code, you'll have likely used the @test annotation to mark a method as a test in a DocBlock. Traditionally, annotations like this have been added to code using DocBlocks. However, as of PHP 8.0, you can use attributes instead to annotate your code in a more structured way.

What is a Headless Data Architecture?

The headless data architecture. Is it a fad? Some marketecture? Or something real? In this video, Adam Bellemare takes you through the basics of the headless data architecture and why it’s beginning to emerge as its own respective pattern. Driven by the decoupling of data computation from storage, the headless data architecture provides the basis for a modular data ecosystem. Stream your data for near real-time low latency use cases, or convert it to an Iceberg table for analytical use cases.

How to Create a MySQL REST API in 6 Easy Steps

According to StackOverflow’s 2022 survey, 46% of professional developers rate MySQL as the most popular database to use in the workspace. As programmers, we should not be bothered with repeatedly writing code which is otherwise readily available, robust, and well-tested. Yet this problem remains persistent in the REST API space, despite the implementation process being by this point in time rote, repetitive, and prone to error and oversight. This oversight is costly for several reasons.

How to Modernize Your Legacy BI Tools with Embedded Analytics

Whether you’re an independent software vendor (ISV) or enterprise-sized company, you want the analytics software you invested in to enhance your users’ decision-making, open up greater access to key data, and improve operational performance for the long-term.
