Want to know how to deploy a PHP app to production (or any other remote environment)? In this tutorial, I’ll show you all the steps involved, and provide background information along the way, so you can build on what you’ll learn.
Docker and Docker Compose simplify setting up local development environments for developing PHP apps and for deploying them, whether locally or remotely. But, when your PHP app is running inside a Docker container, how do you run your tests — especially test suites that depend on resources such as database or caching servers? In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to do so.
Building a local development environment which mirrors production hasn’t, historically, been an easy task. But with Docker, it’s become almost trivial. In this tutorial, you’ll learn do so by dockerizing a PHP application and deploy it locally with Docker Compose.
Sometimes, you need to override an image’s command when launching a container with Docker Compose. If you need to do that, in this tutorial I’m going to show you how — without the need to update an image’s Dockerfile or shell scripts.
Recently, while working with the Twilio Lookup API, I had the opportunity to properly learn about Go’s empty interface. During the process, I realised that I didn’t understand it properly, so took the opportunity to do so. Today, I am going to step through what it is and how simple they are to work with.
It’s incredibly easy to build web apps and APIs using Go’s net/http package. All you really need to do is to specify a route and its handler. But, how do you restrict the methods that routes can accept? In this short tutorial, I’ll show you how.
Substitutability or the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) is a concept that I’ve tried to adhere to for some years when writing code. It’s beneficial for many reasons, but particularly when testing, as it can indirectly force you to write code that is more testable. Recently, I’ve started appreciating how it works in Go, and will step through how in this short article.
Homebrew makes installing PHP and so many other great tools on macOS a breeze; almost as easily as a Linux package manager. But how do you install the Imagick extension? In this short post, I’ll show you the shortest way to do so.
Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time writing Go code and, honestly, didn’t want to pay for a license for a commercial text editor or IDE. I asked around for recommendations and nearly everyone said “Use VS Code!”. So that’s what I started using and this is my initial impressions after about two weeks with it.
There are loads of ways to deploy container-based applications. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to deploy a small application using Google’s Cloud Run. It’s a powerful, yet not-too-imposing service that helps you deploy applications pretty quickly.
