Passbolt's Bread and Butter
summary
Passbolt uses CakePHP for its API and shows concrete wins: dependency injection to swap filesystem adapters lets the Cloud and Community builds share controllers while injecting Google Cloud or local storage for fast tests; pagination changes that avoid a second COUNT plus disabling Entity hydration cut large queries by ~20–30%; switching to a vanilla DateTime type cuts ~40% on big responses; test setup uses fixture factories with a selectQuery mock and a “test s light” trait to speed and inspect DB-backed tests.
