phpser: a fast, HMAC-signed binary serializer for PHP cache workloads.

Faster than igbinary on encode and decode for caches. Its signed mode refuses to decode anything not signed with your key, to keep object-injection out of untrusted caches.

Today's #JCON Content Board Spotlight: Markus Kett (MicroStream)

Markus brings benchmarks over buzzwords. With projects like EclipseStore and #Serializer in his toolkit, he spots interop/tooling gaps early and backs sessions that make #Java apps #simpler and #faster.

I've been continuing the work on my Ruby JSON serialization gem. While there are still a few more features that I'm considering, based on user needs, the benchmarks I've done are showing extremely promising results.

It's at least 2x faster than all other Ruby-based alternatives. Shout out to Panko Serializer for being _slightly_ faster in some cases with its C bindings.
