Meet Benjamin at the Symfony User Group Meetup

Event

Benjamin will be a guest speaker at the Symfony User Group Meetup taking place in Cologne at the OPEN Digitalgruppe, Neusser Straße 27-29, on November 6th, starting at 18:30.

The event will start with a get-together and a welcome, and at 19:10 Benjamin will give his talk:

How native lazy objects will change Doctrine and Symfony forever

Starting with PHP 8.4, you can implement lazy loading and proxy objects with native PHP functionality with little overhead and no code generation required. Both Doctrine and Symfony have historically used the proxy pattern with solutions and workarounds built in PHP. In this talk, I will explain PHP 8.4’s native lazy objects and how they will be a game changer for both Doctrine and Symfony going forward.

After that, there is time for food, drinks, and networking.
