Watch a longer video (English)!Watch a French version. Over the years, several formats have been created to fix performance bottlenecks of web APIs: the n+1 problem, over fetching, under fetching… The current hipster solution for these problems is to replace the conceptual model of HTTP (resource-oriented), by the one of GraphQL. It’s a smart network…
Yesterday at Forum PHP 2019 I presented how easy it is to create real-time apps using PHP (among other languages) and the Mercure protocol. I also introduced the shiny and new Mercure website (designed by Laury S.)! A special thanks to Eric Comellas who jumped on stage to explain how iGraal uses Mercure on a…
I’m very excited to announce the immediate availability of API Platform 2.5!

Symfony 4 embed many gems that make it easy to integrate modern JavaScript within the framework,…

You may have noticed the recent fuss about the compromise of event-stream, a popular NPM package: event-stream is a transitive dependency of many popular JavaScript projects including Vue, Angular, Gatsby and VSCode (some of them are using a version that isn’t affected by the attack). This attack raised, again, the problem of the JS dependency…
