Hello everyone! Today, I would like to share an example of setting up a static analysis tool for PHP - PHPStan.
The tool itself probably needs no introduction. I have used it in one of my projects and was satisfied with it. PHPStan helps maintain the code in good condition, and it is particularly good at finding typing errors. Sometimes it can be a bit pedantic, but ultimately, it's all for the best.

Hello everyone! Today I would like to share my experience of creating a simple service for managing feature flags. Feature flags allow you to enable or disable some specific functionality in an application. It does not require re-deploy or rollback. Only need to enable or disable a specific feature flag. Besides that, flag checks should be added at some points in the source code.
For example, we need to add a contact form to the website, but it's also important to quickly revert changes if needed.
Then we would create contact-form
feature flag and check it when displaying the form and in the form handler.
