When building Express applications, how you manage errors can make the difference between a robust, production-ready system and one that crumbles under real-world conditions. In this article, we'll examine Express' default error handling behavior and learn how to customize it for different scenarios.

In this post, we'll explore two advanced JIT compilers for Ruby: TruffleRuby and JRuby, looking at their benefits and drawbacks. We'll also briefly touch on the recently announced ZJIT compiler. But before we get started, let's define JIT compilation.

Historically, software development clearly separated business and IT roles. Business teams defined the business requirements, while IT teams built digital experiences (e.g., customer-facing applications) based on these requirements. There was a continuous feedback loop where business teams reviewed and provided feedback, and IT teams made necessary changes until the digital experience was public-ready.

Thinking about enabling OPcache Preloading to squeeze more performance out of your PHP application? It’s an advanced feature with very specific benefits — and in most cases, you likely won’t notice a difference.
