If architecture blogs had a surprise party episode, this would be it. Episode #10, honorary or not, is here to crash your neatly separated databases and whisper sweet nothings about Laravel multitenancy. And at the center of this structured madness? The stancl/tenancy package. It’s not just a solution—it’s a whole vibe. Welcome to Tenant Town: … Read more
Once upon a deployment, in a land far, far away (a production server running PHP 5.3 and still somehow alive), there lived a codebase. Not just any codebase, but a sprawling, tangled mass of if-statements, helper functions, and global variables that had long forgotten their purpose. Welcome to Spaghetti Architecture — a culinary horror story masquerading as … Read more
