PHP Benchmarks: 8.4 performance is steady compared to 8.3 and 8.2

Every year, like clockwork, a new version of PHP is released at the end of November. Naturally, you want to know, how much performance gain is in this new release across common frameworks and applications? Our tests show that, in general, the performance between 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 does not move much for a Laravel, Symfony and WordPress demo application. Upgrading to the latest PHP version is not a magic pill to improve performance.

How to Automate Website Testing? A Practical Guide

Website testing ensures your site works as intended for every visitor, on every device, and under every condition. From login flows to shopping carts, it's what protects user experience and business outcomes. But manual testing alone can’t keep up with the pace of modern web development. That’s where automated website testing comes in. It speeds up releases, improves coverage, and gives teams the confidence to ship often, without breaking things.

A Vision for the Future: Qlik's New Agentic AI Experience

The future of data and analytics will be nothing like the experience we're used to today. We are at the beginning of a transformation that will fundamentally reshape how businesses use data, make decisions, and create value. At the center of this revolution is Agentic AI. Agentic AI fundamentally changes the way we work with data – moving from passive, reactive AI systems to autonomous, goal-oriented agents capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex tasks across diverse data landscapes.

From Harmony to Outcomes: Doing Data Differently at Qlik Connect

Qlik Connect this year started a little differently. Not with slides. Not with a video. But with a few minutes of unified harmony. On stage stood the Barcelona Guitar Quartet — except instead of four guitars, there was only one. And yet the sound that emerged was rich, layered, and astonishing. If you had closed your eyes, you’d have sworn it was a full band. It was a masterclass in collaboration.

Django AWS deployment with Elastic Beanstalk

Mastering Data Warehouse Modeling for 2025

Data is the new oil—but without a well-structured refinery, even the most abundant data becomes noise. Data warehouse modeling is that refinery: the critical blueprint that ensures organizations can store, retrieve, and analyze data with precision and efficiency. As of 2025, the landscape of data warehousing continues to evolve rapidly.

AI ETL Tools: Revolutionizing Data Engineering

In 2025, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes is transforming the data engineering landscape. Traditional ETL workflows are evolving from rigid, manually scripted pipelines into intelligent, adaptable systems powered by AI. These AI-driven ETL tools enable companies to handle increasing data complexity, schema drift, and real-time transformation demands without massive engineering overhead.

ETL Consulting: The Backbone of Data Integration

In an era where big data is often referred to as the “new oil,” extracting value from raw information is more critical than ever. However, this process is far from straightforward. Organizations today deal with data sprawled across SaaS platforms, on-prem systems, databases, CRMs, and countless APIs. Making sense of it requires powerful and reliable Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) capabilities — and that's where ETL consulting services become indispensable.
