PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

34. 1.1 Business systems management
Over the past 20 years we have seen a dramatic increase in complexity in the
variety of computer systems and software used to run a business. Gone are the
days when a computer system was isolated and used for the single purpose of
word processing or producing a spreadsheet. Now we have multiple systems,
such as a cluster of database servers, providing a single service, or multiple
services provided by a single machine such as a mainframe.
Most often, these computers are all networked to form a single, very complex
enterprise. The IT departments that maintain these computers specialize in such
infrastructures and have an extensive understanding of how these machines
work and how to fix the technology when it breaks.
However, as the environment becomes more complex, business users also want
to understand the health of the infrastructure and the IT environment for their
particular functions. Each sector of the business may have its own opinion about
which machines or resources are most important. All need to understand the
state of their operation so they can proactively manage their resources.
The IT department may understand that all resources are important, but most
likely would not know the overall impact of each of these resources in the
business sense. When multiple resources fail at one time, they may need to
prioritize repairs, which means understanding the impact of each single resource
on the enterprise’s operations.
These requirements from both the business and the IT department can be
addressed together: Business users can see the resources that they are using
and how they affect their function, and IT personnel can use a reversed model to
see which function from the business user is affected by the resources.
To be able to perform this function, the system must coordinate and collect the
status of all IT resources from the different parts of the enterprise using various
systems management tools. It also must be able to make an abstraction of the
entire business structure that incorporates the IT resources. It also needs
interfaces to other parts of the business, such as problem and change
management.
We will see how these business and IT needs can be met.
