All modern software is built using third-party software components, which may come with their own dependencies. Do you know everything about the components that make up the foundation of your software? What is the PHP software stack’s supply chain?
In this presentation, I paint a picture as complete as possible, covering topics from software supply chain security concerns to the funding of Open Source software development.
I most recently presented "The PHP Stack’s Supply Chain" at FrOSCon on . Previous events include SymfonyCon and International PHP Conference.
My name is Sebastian Bergmann, and I have been working as a software developer and consultant in the PHP ecosystem for over 25 years. I support development teams in creating better software through modern practices, tools and training.
I am deeply committed to Open Source, maintain critical Open Source projects in the PHP ecosystem, and help shape the work of the PHP Foundation as a member of its board. I have also represented the interests of Open Source at the European Commission and am active in the Open Source Working Group ("Arbeitskreis Open Source Software") of the German Informatics Society ("Gesellschaft für Informatik").
I live and breathe Open Source and help shape how developers around the world test, write, and maintain their code.
More events where you can meet me are listed here.
My interactive online training courses are designed to provide you with practical knowledge that you can apply immediately. The next ones starting soon are listed here.
This presentation is part of a series in which I explore the critical aspects of dependency management and security in PHP applications.
"The PHP Stack’s Supply Chain" and "Fearless Dependency Upgrades" focus on empowering developers to understand and safely manage their software supply chain: from fearlessly upgrading dependencies through comprehensive testing to understanding the broader security implications of the PHP ecosystem's interconnected components.
From to , I will be in Munich at the International PHP Conference. There I will give the presentations "30 Years of Code, 25 Years of Tests: A Journey Through Code and Community" and "Modern PHP Development".
