Simplifying Symfony Containerization with DDEV

Docker containers ensure consistent application behavior in different environments. However, they can be complex for those unfamiliar with containerization. DDEV simplifies this by abstracting Docker and Docker Compose, offering a standardized input layer but still allowing for customizations. In this talk, I will introduce you to DDEV and demonstrate how to install and integrate it into a Symfony project. I will also showcase how to extend DDEV and how you can interact with your Symfony application.

The road to more resilience

In this session I will introduce you to static code analysis, a powerful solution to analyze your Magento modules and catch problems without writing an extensive number of tests or without running the code in production. I will introduce you to phpstan - a tool shipped with Magento out-of-the-box - and show you how you can get the most out of it for your own projects.

Nomad as an Operating System

We have been using Nomad to manage our internal workloads since 2018. Over time, Nomad has improved significantly, and last year, we decided to start fresh to simplify our setup while making it more flexible and scalable for future needs. In this talk, I will explain how we configured our new stack, successfully migrated workloads, why we went with SeaweedFS as CSI volume storage and how we simplified our job deployments via GitLab CI pipelines.

How good are my tests?

How to measure the quality of unit tests? Code coverage is not necessarily a good indicator to answer this question. What other options do we have? Do we need tests to test the quality of our tests? In some way, yes we do. In this session, I will introduce you to the concept of mutation-based testing and how this technique can be used to improve the quality of your test suite.

From dev to prod with GitLab CI

Continuous Delivery Pipeline as code is key helping you to ensure long term maintainability. Treating your pipeline as code helps you to version it in your SCM of choice, makes changes easily traceable and lets anyone on your team make required changes. In this session I will show you how we build and maintain our Continuous Delivery pipeline using tools like GitLab CI, Docker, Nexus and Traefik. Together we will take a deep dive into the GitLab CI Build Pipelines to build and deploy docker containers to dev, stage and production environments.

Enhancing your customers' search experience with Gally
