Tideways helps you optimize application performance by continuously monitoring and analyzing it.

While doing a bit of spring cleanup in the various Nomad clusters we host for us and our customers, I wanted to delete a few dynamic host volumes that were no longer in use.

Mark your calendars for October 29th and 30th, as Bad Nauheim will be the place to be. My friends from programmier.bar are hosting the programmier.con - Web & AI Edition 2025 conference, and I'm excited to have been invited to give a talk about DDEV, a topic that was recently featured on the programmier.bar podcast.

For one of our customer projects, I was looking for an SFTP server. Although my Google search was unsuccessful, ChatGPT offered an interesting suggestion I had never heard of: SFTPGo.

A while ago, Nomad introduced the concept of Workload Identity to authenticate to Vault and obtain a Vault ACL token specific to the task. This way, Nomad jobs only have access to "their" own secrets, which provides an additional layer of security.

On the 19th of September, I will be speaking once again at the PHP Developer Day Conference organized by my friends of the PHP Usergroup Dresden.

The Sylius Resource Bundle is using annotations to define the operations an entity supports. These operations will generate a Symfony routing configuration automatically.

In a recent customer project, I was looking for a way to let a legacy application send emails via Office 365 or more specifically, the MS Graph API.

Three years ago I wrote a post about how to test GitLab CI pipelines locally. Unfortunately, GitLab discontinued this feature some time back as part of the Runner application's refactoring process.

To have the most flexibility for our CI pipelines, we use the Docker runner in our GitLab CI environment. This allows us to easily customize each job in each build pipeline for each of our customers, ensuring they match our specific needs.
