Managing development tools elegantly
Many developers store the required .phar files of the respective tools directly in the document root of the repository to escape the dependency hell [1]. That is the place you inevitably end up in if you pack the tools in the require-dev area of composer.json instead. There is however a way to not only solve this issue more elegantly, but also save storage space in your own version control system.

PHP 5.x and PHP 7.x Security in Focus!
Since the end of 2018, PHP 5.x is no longer being supported. This means in particular that any vulnerability discovered since the beginning of January 2019 is and will remain a zero-day vulnerability - meaning there will be no patch for it.

Symfony’s new messenger component
One of the big, new features of Symfony 4 is the messenger component, which was introduced in the last release. Similar to the EventDispatcher, it is sending messages but it can also send and receive messages across the boundaries of the application.

Nest.js for Node.js applications
By now, Node.js isn’t a small-time-player anymore when it comes to the backend technology. However, the acceptance and distribution of the platform has only increased in recent years, so that more and more developers have to approach this technology. Node.js’ lightweight character is its biggest advantage, but also a disadvantage. Node.js only has a handful of core modules, which can be used to implement even larger web application. But this comes at price, because all the important features, such as routing or a plug-in layer for web applications, must be implemented manually.
