This is my initial video setup

🏄♂️ Nginx supports all sorts of dynamic configuration, love it
Here we take a wildcard subdomain to create variable $account, and:
A) Set a dynamic web root
B) Set a fastcgi variable PHP can read from $_SERVER
(Do whichever makes sense for you)

Love the "pv" command, to help make sure bytes are flowing between processes like you expect.
I use it the most with mysqldump to make sure it's actually dumping stuff and didn't stall

💡 By default, mysqldump uses the --opt flag. This specifically locks tables (a safer option for MyISAM).
🚨 This can stop your database from being usable during the export.
✅ For modern databases using InnoDB, use the --single-transaction flag.

👨🔬 Another common task in Nginx is redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS, to enforce the use of SSL certificates.
Two methods:
1. Catch-all http and redirect to https
2. Redirect only specific apps/sites

It’s time for PHP to speak http natively like many other languages.
PHP was delightfully simple for its CGI-like run time but that doesn’t make sense anymore.
PHP-FPM is operational complexity.
Logging to files instead of stdout is operational complexity.

👨🔬 Nginx can respond to wildcard subdomains (via *), great for multi-tenancy.
But we can also *capture* a subdomain value!
In the last 2 examples:
1. We pass the subdomain to PHP
2. Config a dynamic the web root
3. Separate log files by subdomain

Still bites me!
Your queue workers *can* pick up a job faster than your transaction commit is written into the database!
Dispatch your jobs AFTER the transaction is committed.

HTTP is a stateless protocol. No request knows anything about the request before it.
We work around that with conventions like cookies, sessions, and databases.
All web browsers have decided to agree with HTTP spec(s), on things like "how to handle cookies".

👨🔬 Cool MySQL hack:
🧐 If your staging env has a table that ideally doesn't have data in it (esp production data)

🎯 So, the ~/.my.cnf file has been an awesome thing for forever.
MySQL clients [mysql | mysqldump] will find and use it if it exists, so you can avoid adding CLI flags every command (like user/pass).

Someone clued me into Nginx Unit to run Laravel apps, and it's kinda nice. I don't think it needs Octane, but it also removes PHP-FPM from the stack.
So far sending a LOT of requests to a default Laravel app is no sweat.

Dockerizing PHP apps in general is sort of weird, especially with certain aspects related to PHP-FPM.
I think Octane actually makes packaging up PHP apps into a container simpler in a few 🔑 ways.
