Symfony:PHPEnterpriseArchitecture

The framework used by Drupal, Magento, and Laravel itself in its components. When you need real hexagonal architecture, not magic methods.

Symfony for enterprise projects that scale

Symfony is not "hard Laravel". It's explicit architecture. Native Dependency Injection, Event Dispatcher for CQRS, Messenger for async processing. Doctrine ORM with Unit of Work pattern. Flex for dependency management without bloat. Reusable components you can extract to microservices.

What We Deliver

Every Symfony project includes:

Incluido

No incluido

For Decision Makers

Symfony is the PHP framework with the greatest long-term stability. 4-year LTS vs Laravel's 2.

Used by BlaBlaCar, Spotify (PHP backend), Trivago. Scales to millions of users.

Architecture that allows large teams to work in parallel without merge conflicts.

For CTOs

Native Dependency Injection with autowiring. Compiled service container for maximum performance.

Doctrine ORM with Unit of Work, Identity Map, automatic migrations. Type-safe QueryBuilder.

Messenger for async processing (RabbitMQ, Redis). Event Dispatcher for CQRS without external libraries.

Is It For You?

Who it's for

  • Enterprise projects with DDD/hexagonal architecture requirements
  • Teams of 5+ developers who need to work in parallel
  • Systems with complex business logic and bounded contexts
  • APIs requiring versioning and backward compatibility
  • Organizations needing 4+ year LTS

Who it's not for

  • MVPs that need speed over architecture
  • Small projects where Laravel is sufficient
  • Teams without enterprise pattern experience
  • If you prefer convention over configuration

Risk Reduction

Enterprise APIs

Versioning, backward compatibility, multiple consumers.

DDD/CQRS

Bounded contexts, event sourcing, sagas.

Microservices

Symfony components extractable to independent services.

PHP Enterprise Credentials

Frequently Asked Questions

Symfony or Laravel?

Laravel for MVPs and quick productivity. Symfony when you need real DDD architecture, large teams, and 4-year LTS.

Is Symfony slower than Laravel?

No. The compiled container and OPcache JIT make Symfony equal or faster. The "slowness" is a myth from old versions.

What is API Platform?

Framework on top of Symfony to create automatic REST/GraphQL APIs with OpenAPI, pagination, filters, and configurable serialization.

Doctrine vs Eloquent?

Doctrine uses Unit of Work pattern: changes persist at the end. More control, better for complex domain logic.

How do you handle CQRS?

Native Messenger component. Commands for writing, Queries for reading. Event Dispatcher for projections.

Does it include training for my team?

Yes. DDD architecture workshops, pair programming, architectural decision documentation (ADRs).

Hosting included?

We configure on AWS, GCP, or VPS. Platform.sh or Symfony Cloud optional. EU servers for GDPR.

Post-launch support?

Maintenance contracts with SLA. Security updates, version upgrades, architectural support.

Architecture That Doesn't Scale?

PHP code audit. We identify technical debt and propose gradual migration to Symfony.
