Distributing PHP applications is quite complicated. For instance, to run a Symfony project in production, a web server, the PHP engine, and the appropriate PHP extensions need to be installed. Their versions and configurations must be compatible with the app. Because PHP is an interpreted language, the application source code must also be available. Composer…

If you attended AFUP Day 2022, you might know that I am currently working on a PHP module for web servers written in Go. While testing my upcoming library, I encountered strange memory access issues related to the threads created by the Go runtime (you know, cgo…). By default, the Go scheduler runs many goroutines…
Caddy is the rising star of web servers. It is fast, easy to configure, fully featured (automatic TLS certificate generation and renewal, HTTP/3, cloud-native, config hot reloading…), and secure (it is written in Go, not in C). Thanks to its unmatched extensibility that makes it a top-notch app platform, Caddy has a thriving ecosystem! To…

Used in conjunction with the Link HTTP header and the preload relation, 103 gives the client the opportunity to fetch resources (assets, images, linked API documents…) related…

“Structured Field Values for HTTP” is an upcoming RFC defining a set of well-defined data types to use in HTTP headers and trailers. This new format will improve the interoperability and the safety of HTTP by allowing to create generic parsers and serializers suitable for all HTTP headers (currently, most headers need a custom parser)…
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…
