Regardless of claims by trendy developer websites, Enterprise PHP really is a thing: the final frontier. A reality for companies doing business at scale who turn to their developers for selecting frameworks, libraries, and tools that work at the scale they operate. These are the undocumented, and unspoken criteria driving what they trust. Join us in this talk as Adam Culp walks through lessons learned over a five-year mission, consulting with companies who operate enterprise scale PHP applications. See what was boldly learned about squeezing more power out of PHP's engines.
