I redirected laravel/nightwatch to my own Postgres and hit 13,400 payloads/s on a single instance. Stack: ReactPHP, SQLite WAL, Postgres COPY. Here's how it actually works 👇

@DanielNewns 4️⃣ 🚀Thanks for the wink @DanielNewns! Give it a try, I promise you will like it. Hope to hear back from you soon

Welcome to Artisan Weekly Edition 83! It's a bit late today I have just got back from Norfolk. The signal was terrible but at least there was WiFi! It did feel nice to be touching grass and just unwinding. While I was s, the Laravel community kept busy with some fantastic content. Here's what caught my attention: 🥇Understanding PHP Method Calls Ever wondered what actually happens when you call an object's method in PHP? @alexdaubois takes us through what happens under the hood in this fascinating deep dive. Alexandre has been sharing some brilliant technical insights on X lately, so definitely worth following for more gems like this. x.com/alexdaubois/st… 🥈Visualizing Laravel Applications Have you ever wanted to visually see what your application does throughout its request lifecycle? The Laravel Brain package makes this possible with interactive graphs showing each route and what happens during execution. @mrmarchone walks us through how this impressive tool works in this detailed video demonstration. youtu.be/e4Fp-Mp4T9g 🥉The Case of the Mysterious ULID @aaronsaray shares a brilliant debugging story about ULID collisions that weren't actually collisions at all. Turns out Laravel's replicate() method was copying the public_id field, causing duplicate identifiers. He shows exactly how to fix this using replicating hooks to ensure fresh ULIDs for duplicated models. masteringlaravel.io/daily/2026-05-… 4⃣High-Performance Nightwatch Interception Leonce Medewanou built something impressive - a way to intercept Laravel Nightwatch's observability data and redirect it to your own Postgres database instead of the hosted platform.

The breadth of knowledge and willingness to share continues to amaze me. From low-level PHP internals to high-scale architecture patterns, our community covers it all. One last thing don't forget it's @laravellondon on May the 13th if you haven't got a ticket yet and you can make it grab a ticket now -> luma.com/dvsvh9uj. @LaravelLiveUK will be here before you know it so if you want to watch 2 full days of great talks and catch up with a bunch of great @Laravel devs then grab an early bird ticket while you can -> tickettailor.com/events/laravel… Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to touching some more grass...

Or maybe our AI big big brother @PovilasKorop ? That will definitely be a good way to push these AI agents to their limits. Would you take the challenge?

People keep asking me why I didn’t open-source or offer the UI for free. The agent was very interesting to build and I've learned a lot. The paid UI is a personal challenge. Having people pay for something when they could vibe code a workable version for personal use in 2 weeks means something to me. I'm excited to see where this goes. Since I started publishing about the package, I have always recommended to devs to try vibe coding a UI on top of it, and that could be a very fun project. Now, who in the community can take this challenge for the entire community?

We've got a wink on the "Artisan Weekly Edition 83" by Daniel from Jump24 yesterday. That's a win 🚀. Thanks to all of you for the support again. linkedin.com/posts/daniel-n…

Maybe @MrPunyapal? I don't know if you are into AI or vibe coding stuff but this could be a very interesting series to watch on your new youtube channel.

Tag anyone you think that can handle this

It's been over a month of battle testing nightowl agent by many dev friends and teams who liked the idea. I'm very excited to say we can now release the v1 🎉. Thanks to all of you for the support.

@enunomaduro 🤣 very sharp teeth dinosaurs

this is my reply to all the php dinosaurs on reddit who bashed me just because i made a video saying positive stuff about php and laravel i will keep talking about php / laravel for the rest of my life, deal with it

nightowl-agent package just hit 40+ stars on github 🎉 3 days in, for my first Laravel package, I'll take it. Thanks to everyone who starred, means a lot.

New on Reddit but my r/laravel post went way better than I expected 🚀. 62 upvotes, 15k views, top of the sub for the whole day, nice comments. I don't know what good stats look like there but this feels amazing to me.

@thinkroot_dev Postgres for now. Will probably add Clickhouse, Kafka along the way

@lemed99 Self-hosting your observability stack is the right call at scale. What DB are you pointing it at? Clickhouse?

I redirected laravel/nightwatch to my own Postgres and hit 13,400 payloads/s on a single instance. Stack: ReactPHP, SQLite WAL, Postgres COPY. Here's how it actually works 👇

It's MIT, on Packagist as nightowl/agent, runs in any Laravel 11/12 app: composer require nightowl/agent php artisan nightowl:install php artisan nightowl:agent Set NIGHTOWL_PARALLEL_WITH_NIGHTWATCH=true to run alongside Nightwatch hosted and compare side by side. Repo: github.com/lemed99/nighto…

This took a weekend. pcntl_fork() to spawn drain workers. The naive approach (open SQLite in parent, fork, let kids inherit) corrupts the WAL silently when the first child exits. Fix: close the parent's PDO BEFORE the fork, recreate it in both parent and each child after. No clean error. You just get random SQLITE_CORRUPT hours later with no trigger.
