APM (Alternative PHP Monitor) is a monitoring extension enabling native Application Performance Management (APM) for PHP. It doesn’t require any modification to your application’s code and let’s you collect performance metrics as well as catching issues that may arise.

Searching the Moodle database schema is no longer a challenge and table fields names and purposes are no longer a mystery 🙂
With the Zoola analytics DB schema explorer, we can now search and filter tables, table fields, and explorer 1st and 2nd level external key connections between tables.
“You manage your PHP project dependencies with Composer, right? But are you sure that your project is not dependent on a package with known security issues? The SensioLabs security advisories checker is a simple tool, available as a web service or as an online application, that uses the information from your composer.lock file to check for known security vulnerabilities. This checker is a frontend for the security advisories database.” / SensioLabs.

Simple plugin implementing a personal ToDo list on the user’s Moodle dashboard.
Simple plugin implementing a personal ToDo list on the user’s Moodle dashboard.
The main purpose of this plugin is to demonstrate usage of advanced coding techniques available in recent Moodle versions. Most notably:
- Rendering HTML output via Mustache templates
- AJAX based workflow of the elementary CRUD operations.
- Organising JS into AMD modules.
- Organising external functions into traits.
- Low-level access to the database via persistent models.
- Using exporters for handling the data structures in rendering and AJAX.
phpcs-security-audit is a set of PHP_CodeSniffer rules that finds flaws or weaknesses related to security in PHP and its popular CMS or frameworks.
It currently has core PHP rules as well as Drupal 7 specific rules. Next planned CMS/framework is Symfony 2, which are also relevant to Moodle.
As a bonus set of rules, the tool also check for CVE issues and security advisories related to CMS/framework. You can use it in order to follow the versioning of components during static code analysis.
The main reasons of this project for being an extension of PHP_CodeSniffer is to have easy integration into continuous integration systems and to be able to find security bugs that are not detected with object oriented analysis (like in RIPS or PHPMD).
phpcs-security-audit is backed by Floe design + technologies and written by Jonathan Marcil.

Dynomite and the target storage engine run on the same node. Clients connect to Dynomite, and requests are proxied to either the storage engine on the same node or to Dynomite processes running on other nodes.
Dynomite, inspired by Dynamo whitepaper, is a thin, distributed dynamo layer for different storage engines and protocols. Currently these include Redis and Memcached. Dynomite supports multi-datacenter replication and is designed for high availability.
The ultimate goal with Dynomite is to be able to implement high availability and cross-datacenter replication on storage engines that do not inherently provide that functionality. The implementation is efficient, not complex (few moving parts), and highly performant.

Webgrind is a Xdebug profiling web frontend in PHP. It implements a subset of the features of kcachegrind and installs in seconds and works on all platforms. For quick’n’dirty optimizations it does the job. Here’s a screenshot showing the output from profiling:
Suggestions for improvements and new features are more than welcome – this is just a start.

This plugin is a Static Code Analysis tool for PHP (aka inspections in JetBrains products).
It covers:
– architecture related issues (e.g. design pattern violations)
– weak types control and possible code construct simplifications
– performance issues
– non-optimal, duplicate and suspicious “if” conditions
– validation of magic methods usage
– regular expressions
– validation of exception handling workflow
– compatibility issues
– variety of time-consuming bugs
– PhpUnit API usage
– security issues

Orchestrator changes the MySQL topology
In the case of a failover, Orchestrator changes the MySQL topology and promotes a new master. But who lets the application know about this change? This is where ProxySQL helps us.
