Coming soon to PHP Monitor: more information about certificates for all domains in the list. Expired certificates will be clearly visible with an orange padlock icon, too. (And, like before, unsecured domains will have a red icon.)

Today's Laravel release allows you to set the maximum concurrency of pooled or batched HTTP requests. 🏊 This value determines the maximum number of HTTP requests that may be concurrently in-flight while processing the request pool / batch. Thanks @wendell_adriel!

If you need to communicate to your clients, an independently hosted status page like @OhDearApp is your best friend! Downtime will happen, it's often out of your control, but you can decide how you communicate with your users 💪

We are kicking off a new @laravelphp meetup in Aalborg, Denmark, next month! I'll be giving a new talk on how to build Laravel apps with lots of AI magic, and @freekmurze himself will join all the way from Belgium! You should come hang out! I helped start the Copenhagen meetup back in 2014, and it's been very influential on my career. Can't recommend getting involved in these kinds of communities enough. See you there?
