Discover built-in web interfaces for database management and email testing, implement XDebug for both PHPStorm and VSCode debugging workflows, optimize performance through XHProf profiling, and synchronize project updates across different hosting providers. Gain hands-on experience with the same development tool officially adopted by TYPO3 and Craft CMS, and currently under consideration by Drupal as their official local development solution.
