Talks, tools, and articles from the Lamp team.
We also contribute to the wider development community. Everything here reflects the same priorities we bring to client work: code quality, testing, static analysis, and building systems that last.

SARB
1M+ downloadsStatic Analysis Results Baseliner. Adopt static analysis on an existing project without the wall of pre-existing warnings — only new issues are reported. Language-agnostic.
GitHub →PHP Language Extensions
450k+ downloadsAttributes that define new language features in PHP — #[Friend], #[NamespaceVisibility] — enforced by static analysis rather than at runtime. Used in production codebases including our own.
GitHub →Test Splitter
Splits PHPUnit test suites into batches for parallel execution, reducing CI pipeline time.
GitHub →PHPStan Rule Test Helper
Makes it easier to write tests for custom PHPStan rules — something we cover in our workshops.
