I've been doing a ton of testing.

This is what the entire upgrade process from FPM-NGINX to FrankenPHP looks like.

So far it just magically works 🪄🎩🐰

👇 My thoughts on programming language wars:

No one cares about the type of hammer you used to build a building. They just care the structure is stable and they're having a good time when they visit.

The power of containers really hits when you can simply switch a single line to completely upgrade a PHP version or change web servers. 🚀

I was just doing some testing. I switched between NGINX, Apache, and FrankenPHP all in about 30 seconds 🤯

In the latest stable version of Node 22, there's a bug that causes Vite to crash.

To fix it, you need to roll back to Node 22.20.

Because we use Docker from development to production, it's a simple commit to resolve it for everyone's machine 🚀

The @nuxt.com team is highly underrated 💯

I'm working with Nuxt Content, and this product blows my mind 🤯

It's easy, flexible, and fast. Open sourcing Nuxt UI was a solid move too.

You know you're crushing it when a SERVER GUY compliments JavaScript 🤓

I think the Internet is trying to tell us it's time to go outside.

Why did it wait until the weather took a turn?

Is it trying to play a joke? 😵

I have a question that I do not want to start a holy war with:

👉 Why choose Symfony over Laravel for a new project?

I'm genuinely curious because I've never maintained a Symfony app.

Can we have a constructive conversation below? 😅

This is very true! We're all conditioned to just push to a PaaS 😀

You're kidding me!? 👀

TIL about "post_start" in Docker Compose 🐳

You can run commands as a privileged user on startup, but still run your services as an unprivileged user.

This dramatically simplifies bootstrapping an app! 🤩

We're shipping BenchKit as Docker-first, but you can also run it as a standalone PHP application on any host.

To allow greater flexibility on deployments, I created two Composer packages for our benchmark tools and got it to work! 🥳

Here it is running on Laravel Cloud 😁
