XeoDev site is now running on PHP 8
XeoDev is a Leading B2B Company in Florida. As a market leader, we need to keep up with the latest technology releases. PHP 8 has been out a while now and AWS does support PHP 8 on their Linux 2 AMI images. I took advantage of the ease of installing from the AWS supported amazon-linux-extras vs trying to pull the latest version from the REMI repo and building it locally. This way it will be easy to upgrade versions in the future. Standing up the Linux 2 AMI server was fairly straight forward to get the LAMP stack running. The XeoDev site doesn't u... Read Full Blog

How to Xeo?
"Xeo: Innovative ideas that have yet to be discovered; All knowing of what is yet to be discovered" - Urban Dictionary Xeo We always double check Urban Dictionary while researching a brand name.

If you can hold your peace while in the chaos which surrounds new projects, there are many new ideas ready to be discovered and brought forth. Our CTO... Read Full Blog
Should I use Nginx vs Apache?
"I didn't switch to Nginx until I understood how it handled virtual hosts" - Xeo What are Nginx and Apache? Both Nginx and Apache are web servers which host your website on the server. They can also serve API and mobile applications. Nginx goes a little further and can be a proxy, in fact it is used in CloudFlare and provides some of the clever features. Fundamentally a web server reads the web site code from the disk and returns it to the web browser, potentially caching along the way. Each subdomain.domain.com becomes its own ... Read Full Blog
What is Application Scalability?
"Your site needs to scale, when it needs to scale" - Xeo What is Scalability Anyway? Scalability is the ability to scale with the current site or app usage. Scaling a system up is done by throwing hardware at the problem. However, this means spending more money to the hosting company than is needed. Scaling a system out is the process of adding capacity where it is needed with the flexibility to alter that capacity during faster and slow periods. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a classic example of a scale out solution; the beanstalk kn... Read Full Blog

Now or Later - Agile Feature Proritization
As a child of the 80s, I've eaten a lot of Now and Later's. These candies are sold in a big package so you can have some now and still have some later. Nice play on words.

Stackpath WAF SSL SNI Patch
If you manage a website, you know how important it is to have a web application firewall (WAF) in place. WAFs protect your site from attacks and can be configured to block certain types of traffic. However, they can also cause problems if they're not configured properly. One common issue is that WAFs can block legitimate traffic if they're not configured to allow SSL SNI (Server Name Indication). A new SSL/TLS SNI patch for Stackpath's web application firewall (WAF) has been released. This patch addresses a critical vulnerability in how Stackpat... Read Full Blog
