PHPs compiler and bytecode cache OPcache not only cache the compile step from PHP source code to virtual machine bytecode, they also include optimizations that can produce faster bytecode: For example PHP can: For PHP 8.4 Tideways sponsored the work of our colleague Tim to add another compiler optimization for the function sprintf().

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. However, continuously achieving these business outcomes requires a modern solution. Many organizations still rely on older business intelligence (BI) tools for reporting due to long-term licensing.

How to Craft and Sign a Custom JWT in Kong Konnect

The JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard that allows information to be transferred securely between different parties. The token is digitally signed by using a private key (HMAC) or a public/private key (RSA) by building a JSON Web Signature (JWS). It guarantees that the JWT hasn’t been modified since its creation.

Empowering Enterprise Generative AI with Flexibility: Navigating the Model Landscape

The world of Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly evolving, with a wide array of models available for businesses to leverage. These models can be broadly categorized into two types: closed-source (proprietary) and open-source models. Closed-source models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Anthropic’s Claude 3, or Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro, are developed and maintained by private and public companies.

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.

Spreadsheets vs. Test Management Tools: Unleash the Power of Efficient Test Cases

In the ever-evolving world of software development, a well-defined test plan is the cornerstone of a successful Quality Assurance (QA) process. For QA professionals, testers, testers, and developers alike, a robust plan ensures comprehensive testing, minimizes risks, and ultimately delivers high-quality software. Traditionally, spreadsheets like Excel have been the go-to tool for crafting test plans. However, as projects grow in complexity, the limitations of spreadsheets become increasingly apparent.
