1/9 🧵 Parquet is an amazing file format, almost like an immutable database in a single file. One of the cool features is that each column can have different encoding and compression. Let's take a look at Delta Binary Packed encoding.

When diving into datasets, defining a schema is your go-to move for reliability and consistency. Flow #PHP CLI app can effortlessly detect schemas from any compatible data sources. Today, let me introduce you to column statistics:

Hey, don’t do that! High coupling with the framework makes maintenance and upgrades a nightmare, and it also limits your system’s scalability. I know it’s a quick way to build something, and it might work for a while, especially if you’re building a CRUD app. But here’s the thing: a good framework should stay out of your way. Frameworks are meant to solve specific problems, not be the center of your system. Laravel and Symfony are great for: - UI (CLI/Http) - Routings - Backend HTML rendering - Handling and validating input/output And probably a few other things. Try to build your system’s core as if it knew nothing about the framework. That way, you’ll have a more flexible and maintainable system. That’s what sets software engineers apart from "framework developers". Frameworks come and go, like Zend. Don't let your system die with the framework (or framework version)
