Performance Considerations with Offset and Cursor Pagination in Plain PHP and Doctrine ORM

Oct 20, 2026 By Benjamin Founder & CEO In Tideways
Displaying a list of items from the database is probably the most common functionality built for web applications. This is where pagination with LIMIT clause comes into play, which is most likely what you learned to use. This pattern is called offset pagination. In this post I am going to contrast it with cursor pagination and the performance considerations that come with the choice of pagination algorithm. Examples are with Plain PHP and Doctrine ORM 3.7, which ships a new CursorPaginator class.

What a room of engineers asked me about realtime resilience

Oct 20, 2026 By Matt Hammond In Ably
I spoke about Ably's approach to resilience at the AWS Cloud Resilience Roadshow in Dublin on 22 September 2026, and the questions afterwards covered CDNs, regional failover, outages, message ordering, and capacity. They got me reflecting on which parts of our approach are common across the industry, which are less so, and how choices made early, well before my time at Ably, have put us in a strong position today.

MLS Data Quality: 10 Problems That Break Real Estate Products at Scale

Oct 19, 2026 By Ihor Kosandyak In ORIL
A single Multiple Listing Service (MLS) record rarely stays in one place. The same listing feeds the search index, the map, the detail page, analytics, and the public API, so one incorrect value can propagate to multiple downstream surfaces that consume the same source data. A correction made in one system does not necessarily propagate to every downstream surface that consumed the original value.

The Top 5 Root Causes of False Failures in Test Automation And How AI Can Help Eliminate Them

Oct 15, 2026 By Perforce In Perforce
False failures, a leading cause of flaky tests, occur when a test reports a defect that does not exist. The application works, yet the test suite says otherwise. The cost goes well beyond a few minutes of investigation. Perforce's 2026 State of DevOps Report found 50% of test failures stem from brittle scripts and UI changes, not actual defects, and 70% of automation effort goes toward fixing those scripts. Most teams are spending their automation budget on maintenance, not coverage.

The Node.js Release Schedule Is Changing

Oct 15, 2026 By Rafael Gonzaga In NodeSource
One major per year, every major headed for LTS, and a new Alpha phase: here’s why Node.js is changing a release model that has been in place for more than a decade. For more than ten years, Node.js releases have followed a rhythm that became familiar across the ecosystem: a new major every six months, even-numbered releases moving into Long-Term Support, and odd-numbered releases serving as shorter-lived Current lines. That model brought something Node.js badly needed in 2015: predictability.
