http://www.phparch.com \ August 2019 \ 13Symfony 4: A New Way to Develop Applicationshad the same feeling throughout the
project—I am controlling my stack, and
I am using the exact components I need.
Moreover, I had a feeling of controlling
the framework, not vice versa. Symfony
4 gives you the feeling that you are not
highly coupled to the framework, and
you have incredible flexibility. It is not
just a feeling; Symfony 4 provides this.
Even if you choose some wrong compo-
nent for your stack, it is easy to remove
it.
Symfony 4 has the philosophy that
you should focus on building features,
and I honestly think it achieves it. Flex
is a great thing, and it improved the
process of handling and developing
applications with Symfony a lot. The
new code structure is more natural
than before, and it is better organized
and easier to navigate. Symfony 4 is
the fastest Symfony release ever, and
also the best release that’s increased DX
significantly—without hurting perfor-
mance or any other important thing.
Symfony 4 is also great as a microf-
ramework but is also marvelous as a
fullstack framework. The best way is tostart small and add things as you need
them. It is easy to scale with Symfony- Symfony 4 is going in the direction
of building a higher level of abstrac-
tion, and that allows quicker and better
tools for prototyping and building web
applications. Also, we need to keep in
mind that sometimes a higher level of
abstraction can be problematic for new
developers trying to understand how
things work under the hood. The good
thing here is that Symfony has excellent
documentation and a great community.
I think the real power of Symfony
comes from the community. The
Symfony community can be a role
model for any other community in the
development world. The things they are
doing, how they are organized, and how
they follow release cycles is fantastic.
Moreover, the Symfony community is
always ready to help new developers
start using Symfony and resolve prob-
lems. I think that is the best thing
about the Symfony framework, and I
am proud to be a part of that awesome
community.Antonio Perić-Mažar is CEO at Locastic, an agency based
