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.
I am Sebastian Bergmann. I started writing PHPUnit in 2000 and still maintain it. In the same year I gave my first talk at a PHP conference. As a co-founder of thePHP.cc, I help teams in training courses and through consulting and coaching with everything related to PHPUnit, with quality gates for working with LLM-based coding agents, and with supply chain security.
I helped start the PHP Foundation and serve on its board. I have also represented the interests of Open Source at the European Commission and am active in the Open Source working group of the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik).
Where you can meet me next is listed under events. The next dates of my training courses are in the training overview.
On , I will be in Frankfurt am Main at the PIMCORE Community Dev Days. There I will give the presentation “Speed is a byproduct of trust”.
