Laravel vs. Ruby on Rails

Aug 25, 2026 By Rollbar In Rollbar
Laravel and Ruby on Rails are both full-stack, batteries-included MVC frameworks with an ORM, a templating engine, a CLI, and a shared philosophy: going from an empty folder to a working app shouldn't take fifty decisions first. Laravel wins when your team already lives in PHP, or when you want the largest possible pool of developers, packages (code other people have already written for common tasks), and hosting options to choose from.

PHP-FPM Performance Optimization: The Complete Tuning + Monitoring Guide

Jun 14, 2026 By Pavithra Parthiban In Atatus
When your PHP-based application starts attracting thousands of visitors, the way you run PHP becomes critical. A slow-loading page or a server crash during peak hours can cost you revenue, users, and reputation. PHP-FPM (PHP FastCGI Process Manager) is the default way most high-performance websites run PHP. While its default configuration works fine for small to medium workloads, high-traffic applications need custom tuning to handle large volumes of requests efficiently.

Four Modern PHP Features That Show How Far the Language Has Come

Apr 8, 2026 By Ravi Srinivasa In Icinga
PHP has evolved over the years and has become a lot more reliable, faster and refined. And with the release of PHP 8, which contained many features (named arguments, union types, attributes, constructor property promotion, match expressions, the null safe operator (?->) etc) and optimizations (JIT compiler), PHP has become more faster and cleaner. There are many more improvements and interesting features in the later versions of PHP 8. The 4 features I now rely on and wish PHP had introduced much earlier.

PHP in 2025: Is It Still Relevant for Modern Web Applications?

Oct 16, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Every few months, the same debate comes up in developer communities. "Should we still be using PHP?" The question usually carries doubt, as if PHP is some old relic we're embarrassed to use. This perception is wrong. PHP currently powers the vast majority of websites with a known server-side programming language. This includes platforms that handle massive user bases daily.

Oct 10, 2025 By Faiz Shaikh In Last9
PHP powers a large swath of the web — from blogs to storefronts to APIs. But with microservices, third-party dependencies, and scaling complexity, performance can slip in subtle ways. Your app might mostly work, but small—noted delays, occasional spikes, or hidden bottlenecks build up. An APM tool helps you see inside the black box: which functions are slow, which DB queries are hogging time, which external calls are failing or stalling.
