Yesterday, we had the pleasure of watching the eighteenth Laravel Poland MeetUp. This time, both on-screen and right outside the walls of our Legnica office, we hosted Marcin Tracz – an experienced PHP+Laravel developer and an academic teacher at the Faculty of Technical and Economic Sciences at Witelon State University in Legnica. Marcin discussed the speed of Laravel Octane and how to use Laravel in tandem with Swoole. We hope we weren't too loud in the background! ;)

During the presentation, key advantages of Laravel Octane were covered, such as:

• Increased performance through application startup optimization.
• Persistent connections enabling faster server response times.
• Integration with Swoole and RoadRunner, allowing for even better resource utilization.

The speech by Marcin sparked numerous questions and discussions, highlighting how important and engaging the topics were. For us, as a partner of Laravel Poland MeetUp, it’s another proof of the value of sharing knowledge.

Thank you to all participants for your active involvement.
See you at the next meetups, both online and – we hope – in pubs!

We are proud to announce that we have become a partner of Laravel Poland MeetUp!
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to become even more involved in the growth of the Polish Laravel community, share knowledge and experience, and inspire others to explore new technologies.

On March 29th, at 6:00 PM, we invite everyone to join Laravel Poland MeetUp #17, where our developer Mateusz will demonstrate how to use Laravel Livewire.

This innovative framework allows building frontend components without the need to directly interact with JavaScript. During the presentation, Mateusz will explore whether such an approach can succeed in a world dominated by JavaScript. 

We hope to see you there in large numbers! See you soon!

We love to sharing knowledge and exploring new technologies that spark our interest. Some time ago, we decided that every month a member of our team would present a topic they are most interested in or challenged by at the moment, so we can all learn from each other. These meetups aim not only to expand our knowledge but also to strengthen team collaboration and inspire us to seek innovative solutions.

All team members who want to deepen their knowledge, share their experiences, or showcase new technologies participate in these meetups. So far, we have discussed topics like Traefik, Livewire, and Laravel Nova, and many more presentations are in the works. All of our past sessions can be found on our GitHub: Blumilk GitHub.

Last Friday, our talented developer Magda gave a presentation on implementing machine learning in PHP using the Rubix ML library. One of the key questions that came up during the discussion was: Is it worth using other programming languages for machine learning if Python is so dominant in this field?

More meetups are already scheduled! :)
