Weekly Tech - 17th February of 2025

Welcome everyone, hope you're all fine and well?

Well, new week, new weekly tech, like last week, this one is light, I voluntary reduced the scope to make it easier to read between pull requests and to explore links, do not hesitate to gave feedback on the structure of it, time to start.

Database

Let's start with SQLite and its usage on production with terabytes of data, as you will see, the feedback is pretty interesting and you can easily imagine how easy is it to migrate it and maintain it (thanks to the format and fact that you're dealing with a file), you can also find a feedback on how to use SQLite on servers or in a serverless architecture.

• Could SQLite handles terabytes of data? Without a doubt

• Was SQLite "on the server" misunderstood? It seems so

Machine learning

Next step, the machine learning, this week, we finally saw Grok 3 being released (in Beta for now) and Figure releasing Helix, their own model built for robots in order to gave them the capacity of "seeing" things and interacting with them.

• Figure just released Helix, a vision-language model used for generalist actions

• Sometimes, performances is as simple as a eval call

• Grok 3 is out

---

PHP

Back to the basics with PHP and a feedback on the Symfony certification (a must if you want to prepare it), you can also see that Dagger finally released its official SDK for PHP, last topic is about building a SPA with Symfony and the issues that you can face.

• Want to try the Symfony certification? Here’s a guide to help you succeed

• Dagger announced its official PHP SDK

• The "reload" problem in Symfony SPAs and how to "solve" it

---

Go / Rust

Last topic is Go with a feedback on how to build a "real-time" batching system (useful in certain type of situation like consuming queues and so on).

• What does real-time batching look like in Go?

That's all for this week, do not hesitate to comment / like if you liked this weekly tech, as always, let's meet next week for a new one (with more content), until then, have a great weekend and a great week.
