PHP Extension 5.13.0 released

  • Improvement: Instrument PDO::beginTransaction() and PDO::rollBack(). Previously only PDO::commit() was instrumented.
  • Improvement: The pdo.driver annotation is now available on all PDO spans and not just the CONNECT span.
  • Improvement: Add support for elasticsearch/elasticsearch 8.x.
  • Bugfix: Monitoring mode now correctly reports all errors instead of just reporting the first one.
  • Change: \Tideways\Profiler::generateServerTimingHeaderValue() is now deprecated and always returns an empty string.

I’m a Software Engineer at Tideways, where I work on the PHP extension. My focus is on helping developers gain accurate insights into the runtime behavior of their applications with minimal overhead.

I’m interested in PHP internals and regularly contribute performance improvements to the PHP engine. I enjoy working on problems where small changes can have a measurable impact on the performance and efficiency of PHP applications. Several of my performance optimizations have become part of PHP itself, helping improve the language for developers worldwide.
