Top Ten Laravel And PHP Things - 28-11-2025

It's Friday once again! Another great week of content. It was also the first Laravel London since it's reboot, the event went really well and we cant wait for the next one.

So lets get down to the top ten Laravel and PHP things I've found this week.

In 🥇 place this week we have Pavel Buchnev with "The memory pattern every PHP developer should know about long-running processes" - This was a great post on how PHPs memory allocation works and how that now PHP is being used a lot more for long running process we can start to design our code to help fix some of the problems that can happen with long running PHP process and memory allocation this is particularly useful for things like Laravel Queues - https://t.ly/6ZHLW .

In 🥈 place this week we have David Hemphill with "Using the Decorator Pattern in Laravel" - Another great post outlining another design pattern we can use in our PHP applications. The decorator pattern is one we have used a few times at jump24 and we can see the benefits of using. David highlights some great examples of where and when it could be applicable in your codebase - https://t.ly/MqdFc

In 🥉 place this week we have Kyrian Obikwelu with "PHP Fibers: The Missing Piece for Elegant Cooperative Multitasking" - We’ve had Fibers in PHP since 8.1, I’ve yet to use them so this post was a good read for me. Kyrian talks about Fibers in PHP he goes into detail showing examples of using Fibres and how it works so if Fibers have interested you and you've not had a chance to use them give this a read - https://t.ly/uVIFl
