We’re thrilled to announce something new on the horizon: the very first edition of the Dutch AI Conference, taking place on 11 and 12 March 2026 in Amsterdam. This brand-new event joins the family of developer conferences alongside Appdevcon, Webdevcon and the Dutch PHP Conference. It was created from a simple insight: while AI has rapidly become one of the most transformative forces in tech, there wasn’t yet a conference in the Netherlands where professionals could dive deep into the craft of building reliable and scalable AI solutions. The Dutch AI Conference aims to change that. Here, AI engineers, [...]

A few months ago, we implemented support for exception profiling in PHP. One of the key justifications for building this functionality into Continuous Profiler was to show the hidden costs of exceptions in PHP, especially when they are used for flow control in hot code paths. Once this feature was built, we naturally wanted to know if it surfaced these kinds of flow control problems in customer production systems. We peeked into an otherwise fully operational service, and the profiler showed that this application was throwing 495,000 exceptions per 14.2 seconds: Is this a lot? In PHP, the engine [...]
