APMs, Profilers Static Analyzers Who’s who
summary
Quick practical distinctions between tooling and what they actually deliver for PHP apps: debug tools like ray and the Laravel debug bar give contextual state during development; static analyzers such as phpstan automate code review and CI checks; APMs monitor real user traffic but only give high level signals; profilers give function call level metrics and SQL breakdowns. Blackfire profiles in production with no overhead until a profile is triggered and xdebug is not safe for production. Combining APM and profiler finds which URL is slow and why.
