Practical insights and guides on PHP/Symfony, React/Next.js, legacy modernization, and software architecture, drawn from 18+ years of building web applications for European businesses.
Most RAG demos collapse the moment a real product touches them — wrong chunks, slow queries, no evaluation, no cost ceiling. Here is a Symfony + pgvector blueprint that actually holds up in production, with the architectural choices that matter and the ones that do not.
Read moreMost agentic features that shipped in 2025 disappointed in production. Here is a build, buy, or wait decision framework for B2B SaaS, with concrete architecture patterns for Symfony and Next.js.
Read moreAI features can turn a profitable SaaS into a cash-burning one overnight. Here is a practical engineering playbook for token budgets, prompt caching, model routing, and the fallback patterns that keep LLM unit economics under control.
Read moreMost RAG tutorials stop at a working prototype. This blueprint covers a production-grade architecture using Symfony, PostgreSQL with pgvector, hybrid BM25 + vector search, evaluation, and the operational concerns tutorials skip.
Read moreThe European Accessibility Act has been enforceable since June 2025, yet most B2B SaaS products still fail basic WCAG 2.2 level AA checks. Here is what the law actually requires, how to prioritise remediation in a React/Next.js codebase, and what your accessibility statement must contain.
Read moreNIS2 pulled thousands of mid-size SaaS vendors into EU cybersecurity regulation. This post breaks down who is in scope, the 24-hour reporting clock, supply chain duties, and what audits actually check.
Read moreThe EU AI Act is now enforced and most SaaS teams underestimate how broadly it applies. This playbook covers risk classification, transparency obligations, documentation, and the GPAI rules that affect anyone integrating Claude, GPT, or Gemini.
Read moreThousands of European businesses still run PHP applications on shared hosting with FTP deploys and no version control. Modernizing without breaking production requires a deliberate, low-risk migration path—not a weekend rewrite.
Read moreEnabling TypeScript strict mode on an existing codebase surfaces hundreds of latent bugs hiding behind lax defaults. Here is what the flags actually do, which ones matter most, and how to migrate without stopping feature work.
Read moreBackground jobs are where reliability quietly falls apart—failed tasks disappear, retry storms overwhelm databases, and deadlocks surface only at 3 a.m. Here is how to design a job system that survives production.
