From Eloquent to SQL and Back: Anatomy of a Laravel Query
Compare Laravel Eloquent, Query Builder, and raw SQL: follow query compilation, PDO execution, and model hydration, with benchmarks from 10 to 100,000 rows.
Hi, I'm Matteo. I architect scalable systems by day and run impossible distances by night. Welcome to my digital garden where code meets endurance.
I work at the crossroads of software engineering and data-driven products. I lead the technical strategy for complex, data-intensive applications, using PHP and Docker for core stability and NestJS/Python for machine learning pipelines. My role spans the full engineering lifecycle, from overseeing R&D to managing infrastructure. Outside the IDE, I bring the same discipline to running, pushing my limits on long distances just as I do in complex engineering projects. And yes, of course I love racoons.
