In the previous post I showed how to do high frequency metrics in PHP with TCP sockets. In this post I'll show how to collect and combine metrics from multiple PHP application servers. Instead of sending the log lines from each server to a single node, the monotonically...

When you are running a high traffic website you may run multiple PHP servers to handle the load. When you want to track a performance metric (such as API or database calls) you may need to do some high frequent logging for performance analysis. In this blog post we present a standardized...

Web shops in the Netherlands need accurate address validation and completion. Kadaster is a Dutch government body that can provide the data that we need. Unfortunately they only provide the data in an almost unusable format (about 96GB of XML data), while we need a CSV...

I am building a free email service that respects privacy and prevents profiling on 103mail.com (see: the plan). In this post I explain how outgoing mail can be captured to be handled by a web hook, while internal email is delivered normally. The post assumes you are running Postfix...
