This article describes, from an infrastructural point of view, how to use together the doctrine sharding and Amazon Aurora Autoscaling, on our databases. Nuvola is our main project, which allows Italian schools to manage their activities in a computerized way.…
That’s tricky! Let’s assume we have two arrays like these:
|
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22

class Foo
{
public $bar;
public $flag;
public function __construct(string $bar, bool $flag)
{
$this->bar = $bar;
$this->flag = $flag;
}
public function __toString(): string
{
return $this->bar;
}
}
$array1 = [
new Foo('test', true),
];
$array2 = [
new Foo('test', false),
];
|
Looking at these few lines I would expect that those two arrays are different but if we compare them with php array_diff function they’re the same:
|
1
2
3
4
|
var_dump(array_diff($array1, $array2));
array(0) {
}

Disclaimer This post title can be misleading. Method order is just an implementation detail that should not be tested as PHPSpec philosophy is to test your public API, not the implementation as it would lead to fragile tests. Fundamentalists might say…
In the previous article we explored why sharding by tenant is a very good solution for us. In this article we dig into how to divide our Symfony app by shard. Doctrine We chose Doctrine as our ORM so let’s see what…
