Tideways and Xhgui in Valet+ (Valet Plus)
This post is for folks who are already familiar with PHP, command line, Valet, Tideways and XHGui.
You can see some explanation and screenshots of Tideways and Xhgui in my Tideways and Xhgui using Dev Desktop post if you need a bit of an introduction.
I’ve successfully gotten Tideways running with Acquia Dev Desktop, Lando, and now Valet+. This post illustrates the process I used to get Tideways, Xhgui, and their dependencies running on my Mac for use in Valet+ sites.

Tideways and Xhgui using DevDesktop and Docker
THIS POST IS UNFINISHED. Use at your own risk. I needed to share with a colleague, so I’m just getting it out into the world. Your Mileage May Vary!
I’ve been working on some large Drupal 8 migrations and have been wanting to profile them for some time due to a few migrations taking far more time than I expected. Acquia DevDesktop, which I happen to be using for this site, offers xhprof in the older PHP environments, but I wanted to get something setup in PHP 7.
For PHP 7 the recommendation is to use Tideways; it’s a modern fork of xhprof. After collecting (tracing/profiling) the data with Tideways you need a way to analyze the data. I used a Docker environment to get Xhgui running. Here’s what a few xhgui screens look like. The best part is that nearly everything is clickable so you can drill down to figure out what’s slow, and why!
