No own datamapping
You gotta install plugins to be able to map your eloquent models; or you can use mutators, that results in very ugly model classes.

Cygolite Expilion 850

Experiences
Pros

Cons

Specs
Top
Pro
Excellent for long rides
For commutes longer than 30 minutes you can get more battery life out of it by running it on a lower setting- the Expilion will run for 3 hours on the 425 lumens setting. If you like to always have a full battery, the Expilion has a swappable 3.7-volt lithium-ion battery, though you'll have to purchase the spare separately.

Top
Con
The mount may be too small for your handlebar
It's supposed to fit all handlebars, but there have been cases where the screw holds it together by just a few links. Be careful if you have an extra thick handlebar.
See More
Top
Pro
Great for darker rides
The Cygolite Expilion 850 is one of the brightest light for the price. The highest setting emits 850 lumens of light which is great for roads with no lighting at all like in rural areas or off-road trails. Even on the lower setting it's still bright enough for non-illuminated bike paths.
See More
Top
Pro
Has a handy mount that won't require you to re-aim the light each time
The mount on the Expilion 850 clips around the handlebar, and then you slide on the light itself on the stationary mount. That means, you only have to aim the light in the direction of your choice once, and it will maintain it's direction when you come back to it.

Pro
Good battery life
On the highest setting (850 lumens) the battery will last for 1.5 hours, and on the flash setting for 22 hours. This is more than enough to get you through the week on one charge.

Zero configuration
It requires basically nothing except database credentials making it awesome to use.

Con
Not suitable for existing projects with a custom database
Since RBP has a no-config approach, it enforces pretty strict database conventions. This does not make it a good ORM for an existing custom database.

Great for rapid development/prototyping
Since it employs a strategy of zero configuration, it can create all required databases and tables on the fly. Making it a great ORM to use when quickly prototyping a product.

Specs

Pro
An excellent headlight for an affordable price
The Light & Motion Urban 350 is very bright,it increases your visibility in traffic, easy to mount on your bike and has a good battery life.
See More
Top
Con
Needs to be charged every day if using the brightest setting
The battery will run for about 1.5 hours on the highest setting. That's fine if you can get to a power outlet daily, but if you're out mountain biking, or travelling long distances on the road, you might need to consider using the lower brightness levels, or having a separate headlight for very long and very dark rides.
See More
Top
Pro
Let's you see and be seen
The Urban 350 headlight emits 350 lumens of light in a 180 degree angle, which is bright enough to let you see and be seen, but not too bright to interfere with other drivers on the road. It has amber side cut-outs, which help drivers see you from the sides.
See More
Top
Pro
Durable
It's waterproof and impact-resistant (FL-1 certification), so it will easily survive rain and every day use. Light & Motion offer a 2 year warranty, but it's likely that the Urban 350 will last longer.
See More
Top
Pro
Has good battery life, easy to keep up with the battery status
The battery will last for 12 hours in pulse mode (which is what most commuters use, since it alerts other drivers to your presence), 1.5 hours on high brightness, and 6 hours on low brightness. This headlight is charged via a micro-USB port, it takes about 5 hours until fully charged. It has a battery status indicator, that goes from green to red as the battery drains, so you don't have to guess at when it's going to run out.

Top
Pro
Very easy to mount and dismount
The Urban 350 has a reliable silicone strap, that doesn't require any tools to be mounted or dismounted. It works like a belt- the strap has multiple round holes which are hooked on a plug to keep it secure. It can fit any handlebar, won't stretch or come undone in the middle of the ride, but is easy to take off before you leave your bike.

Doctrine ORM

Should feel familiar to Java developers
Since Doctrine is inspired by Hibernate, a very popular Java ORM. It should feel very familiar to Java developers who need to use a PHP ORM, especially if they have used Hibernate before.

Con
Not so easy to setup
You follow the tutorial, there are some errors, you search google, you fix them, then you go for it, then new errors... after 30mins not working, bye bye.

Top
Pro
Easy to find support
Doctrine is considered the most popular PHP ORM out there. As such, it has a big community which brings a lot of perks. Namely a great deal of learning resources and it's easier to find help for any issue you might have.
See More
Top
Con
Requires learning a new query language
Since you need to know DQL to use Doctrine to its full potential, you need to take the time to learn and get used to it.
See More
Top
Pro
Good, constant support
Doctrine is the default ORM for Symphony, one of the most widely used PHP frameworks. This means that it's rather well-supported and will continue to be supported at least for as long as Symphony is.
See More
Top
Con
May be overkill for small projects
Since it's a fairly large library, it would be a bit of an overkill to be used in a small project. Since for example it wouldn't really make much sense for the ORM to take up to half of the project's size.
See More
Top
Pro
Provides a flexible alternative to SQL
Doctrine implements its own object-oriented SQL dialect called DQL. It's inspired by Hibernate's HQL and it provides developers with a powerful alternative which helps in gaining flexibility without having to resort to code duplication.

Con
No persistent db connections
If you have a db in a separate server, it will have a very poor performance.

Con
General missing features
Solr is currently missing the following general features: Per-doc/query analyzer chain Support for nested documents Support for multiple document types per schema Ability to modify document scores with custom scripts Equivalent to Elasticsearch's percolation
See More
Top
Pro
Customizablity
A key differentiator of Solr is the level of customizability the SearchComponent feature provides. SearchComponent provides the developer astonishing flexibility in the way search queries are assembled and executed. At the time of writing, there does not appear to be a ElasticSearch equivalent of SearchComponent. source Whilst ElasticSearch has a number of plugin-points there doesn't appear to be an equivalent of Solr's SearchComponent that enables you to modify the workflow of existing API endpoints.

Con
Missing some useful features for cloud distribution
Solr is currently missing the following features that are useful when managing a distributed system: Automatic shard rebalancing Ability to re-locate shards and replicas on demand Ability to change the schema without restarting the server Ability to search across multiple indexes.

Stats component
Solr allows to view average, standard deviation, maximum, minimum, sum of squares of a particular numeric field. It also allows faceting of that numeric field based on the value(s) of other fields.

Pro
Results grouping
Solr allows you to group search results. Results can be grouped by: Field Value Query Function Query You can also collapse multiple results with the same field value down to a single result.
See More
Top
Pro
Decision tree faceting
Solr has a faceting feature called pivot facets or 'decision tree facets'. Pivot facets enable you to calculate facets inside a parents facet, for example pivoting on 'size' than 'color' returns 'color' facet counts for each 'size' facet
See More
Top
Pro
Local params
Solr has a great feature that enables you to use LocalParams to perform more advanced faceting. They provide a way to "localize" information about a specific argument that is being sent to Solr. In other words, LocalParams provide a way to add meta-data to certain argument types such as query strings. From the Solr Wiki: LocalParams are expressed as prefixes to arguments to be sent to Solr. For example: Assume we have the existing query parameter q=solr rocks We can prefix this query string with LocalParams to provide more information to the query parser, for example changing the default operator type to "AND" and the default field to "title" for the lucene query parser: q={!q.op=AND df=title}solr rocks

Simple to learn
Propel uses Active Record, which is a rather simple to understand implementation of an ORM. It's also the most widely adopted implementation. In simple words: an object represents a row, you can create or edit an object to create or edit the corresponding row.
