Technology
Why do we use the PHP Symfony framework?
We don’t choose technologies just because they’re new or trendy. We use those which are stable, reliable and battle-tested. Symfony, an open-source PHP framework, is supported by over 500 000 devoted developers all around the world. Therefore, it can guarantee that your web application will be future-proof.
In fact, the Symfony PHP framework has proven its reliability in numerous world-known projects like Spotify, National Geographic, TED and Vogue. And Symfony components are used by other frameworks and platforms, most notably phpBB, Behat and even Symfony's biggest rival – Laravel. Respect among developers? That’s right!

Symfony is a very versatile framework, making it an ideal choice for various kinds of web applications. In fact, a great number of world-known platforms are based on Symfony components – from CMS to CRM to e-commerce. Among Symfony CMS projects you can find such famous ones as Drupal, Joomla and eZ Platform.
Symfony CRM solutions include, among others, OroCRM and CiviCRM. And then there are Symfony e-commerce platforms, like Magento and PrestaShop. And these are only the very basic, ready-to-use solutions! Imagine what can be done using the Symfony PHP framework when you’re developing custom software.
What’s more, Symfony’s performance can be additionally improved by using a variety of tools based on this framework and compatible with it. A great example of that is API Platform – a Symfony-based tool for designing APIs in no time. To sum up, when it comes to flexibility and stability there aren’t many things better than Symfony.
