Random things on PHP, Symfony and web development
Serverless Architectures are the hottest thing right now. Not a lot of people know exactly what they are and if they really need them, but everyone's onboard because they're afraid they're left behind.
The largest players for serverless platforms are Amazon, Google and Microsoft, but now a small player, Zeit, allows Dockerfile based serverless deployments.
During the first half of 2016 the web development community has talked about Docker quite a bit. The technology has been around since 2013, but during the last few months it has matured and started being adopted for mainstream web development. Docker is a great fit for Symfony projects too.
The latest versions of PostgreSQL and MySQL support a JSON data type. While completely separate NoSQL stores like MongoDB and Redis can be very tempting, but using the JSON capabilities of your main RBDMS in environments in a hybrid mode might be a good choice.
