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.

Traditional CI/CD pipelines relied on determinism, assuming code produced an exact, repeatable output. Generative models and agentic workflows break this model. A single prompt edit or model checkpoint update can pass standard unit tests while causing silent regressions like truncated API payloads or missing parameters five steps downstream. To ship probabilistic AI reliably, engineering teams must redefine what counts as a passing test.

For many teams, Bitrise Insights means build duration and failure rate. Those are good starting points to evaluate your CI performance, but they often fall short when it comes to understanding questions about speed and quality.

Plain-text logs are great if you want a simple explanation of how a function is performing or why a crash happened. But as your application grows, they become difficult to search and analyze. Structured logging makes production data easier to filter, correlate, and use across modern logging tools. This guide will give you the springboard to build structured logs effectively, showing you how to.

Refresh the page, lose signal, switch tabs. Users expect the AI conversation to still be there when they return, with the answer picking up where it left off. Resumable token streaming makes that possible: a returning client catches up with the in-progress response instead of starting over. Making a stream resumable is an architecture decision. Starting generation, storing the response, and delivering it need to happen in separate parts of your stack.
