Laravel Vapor uses different AWS resources to efficiently get your application up and running in the serverless cloud. The building block of the whole thing is AWS Lambda, it's where the actual computing happens. Calculating the cost of the compute part for your application can be a bit confusing, so let's simplify it a bit with an example.

Jonathan Reinink has added a very usefull metric to Laravel debugbar
Last week at Laracon US I gave a talk titled Eloquent Performance Patterns. In that talk I used a custom Laravel Debugbar metric I created to track how many Eloquent models were being hydrated throughout a request. I've had a lot of people asking about this, so today I submitted a pull request to the Laravel Debugbar to add this as an official metric.

In a new post David Hemphill argues that you sure can (re)build something that already exists. I fully agree.
Some folks ask this rhetorically, implying there's no good reason when something similar already exists. They ask this question with a smug grin and think they've got you.

Mattias Geniar explains all the ways an IP address can be written.
Most of us write our IP addresses the way we've been taught, a long time ago: 127.0.0.1, 10.0.2.1, ... but that gets boring after a while, doesn't it. Luckily, there's a couple of ways to write an IP address, so you can mess with coworkers, clients or use it as a security measure to bypass certain (input) filters.

Mohammed Said wrote some thoughts on FOMO that resonate with me.
It's a constant pressure on me, and I can imagine how hard it can be on people newly joining the career. In my early days it wasn't that bad, things weren't moving that fast, but nowadays it's crazy.

Scary stuff.
US BlackHat 2018 proved that is possible to obtain RCE from a PHAR package, moreover, by tweaking its binary content, it's possible to disguise it as a full valid image, bypassing security checks.

Liam Hammett explains how you can use the trap command to stop multiple bash process in one go.
Sometimes when working on a project, I’ll always want to run a handful of commands at the same time, some of which may return when they’re done, others might be long-running, like watchers or services actively exposing ports. This is something that might seem simple to do with a basic Bash script at first, but what if your script has multiple processes running side-by-side and you want to be able to stop them all at once too?

Christan Stettler wrote an interesting post on why domain events and event sourcing should not be mixed up.
Event sourcing and domain events can of course be used both at the same time, but should not influence each other. The two concepts are used for different purposes and should therefore not be mixed.

Exactly 365 days ago, I released my first ebook. I always wanted to share my experiences about it, but I never felt comfortable enough to do so. The project didn't turn out as expected, and I felt embarrassed. It's time to finally reflect it and to overcome my fears.

Earlier this year we released v2 of laravel-event-sourcing. This package is probably the easiest way to getting started with event sourcing in Laravel. A significant feature of v2 was the addition of aggregates.
Today we released another new version of the package that adds test methods. These methods allow you to verify if the aggregate behaves correctly. In this post, I'll show you an example and explain how the test methods are implemented.
These test methods were inspired by the awesome testing methods Frank De Jonge made in his Eventsauce package.

The comment section of this blog used to be powered by Disqus. At its core, Disqus works pretty well. But I don't like the fact that it pulls in a lot of JavaScript to make it work. It's also not the prettiest UI. I've recently replaced Disqus comments with webmentions. If you reply to, like or…
