The new Symfony binary, announced duringSymfonyCon Lisbon 2018, is getting better by the day.

If you haven't heard about the Symfony local web server yet, you can discover it in the official documentation

With 30+ releases since the first public release, we have been hard at work fixing bugs and adding features.

We now auto-detect more PHP versions installed on your machine (MacOS, Windows, and Linux) from many different vendors (in addition to the PHP binaries located under your $PATH). In no particular order: Homebrew, phpenv, Liip PHP, Ondrej PPA, Remi's RPM repository, XAMPP, MAMP, phpbrew, Cygwin, Chocolatey, WAMP, and MacPorts.

We claimed support for HTTP/2, but this was partially true. We falled back to HTTP/1 when you were using local domain names. Not anymore. HTTP/2 is now supported even when using nice domain names ending with .wip.

One convenient feature of the local web server is the ability to run different versions of PHP depending on the project (via a .php-version file for instance). That also works on the console when running symfony run script.php. In addition, it also automatically reads environment variables (from .env files). That's very useful when running a script that does not use the Symfony Dotenv component. Use symfony php script.php and done. The same features are now available for many commands: pecl, pear,php-config, php-fpm, php-cgi, composer, and phpdbg.

By default, the local web server reads the Symfony environment (dev or prod for instance) from your .env configuration. You can force the production environment by running symfony local:server:prod (disable it viasymfony local:server:prod --off).

Pure HTML websites or SPAs can also use the local web server; no need for something else.

Last but not least, we have added support for Docker. We think this provides the ideal local working environment: local native PHP performance with local domains, TLS, HTTP2, and logs aggregation and service management via Docker Compose (or SymfonyCloud). Integration is almost automatic if you are exposing the ports of your services. The services are then exposed as environment variables to the Symfony application. The documentation explains how you can do it. One nice feature is that ports being random on the host, you can work on several projects using Docker without having to shutdown one to work on the next. Having random ports works because the environment variables are exposed automatically by the symfony CLI.

Also note that checking for vulnerabilities in your project should now be done via the symfony CLI as well, more specifically via the security:check command. It does the checks locally without using the HTTP API (it clones thesecurity advisories database to determine issues). That's ideal to use in your CI as well.

SymfonyCon Amsterdam 2019, the annual international Symfony reunion, will take place at the Beurs van Berlage downtown Amsterdam from November 19th to 23rd. The entire event is composed of:

The conference schedule will be divided into 4 tracks: advanced Symfony track, beginner Symfony track, PHP track and an Unconference track. We’re still reviewing all the talk proposals we received for the conference and we’d like to thank all the people who took the time to submit a talk proposal for the conference. We’ve just selected the first conference speakers and are very pleased to announce who they are! We’ll have the great pleasure to welcome on stage (in order of appearance on the conference schedule):

• Fabien Potencier, Symfony founder/project lead, will be on stage for the Opening Keynote!
• Benoit Jacquemont, will explain everything you need to know about "HTTP/3: It's all about the transport!". The announcement of HTTP/3 at the start of November 2018 may have come as a surprise for a lot of us. In this talk, we will explain why this version 3 of the HTTP protocol has been designed, especially around the latency topic. We will cover as well how technically this version works, and what it will bring to our applications, and what are the challenges that will need to be addressed, in order to fully benefit from this new version of the protocol that runs the Web.
• Diana Ungaro Arnos, will speak about "PHP, Symfony and Security". The latest versions of PHP provide security tools and modern cryptography and Symfony itself make its efforts to deliver robust security features that are simple to implement. We'll learn about the latest language and framework initiatives in this regard and check out short and quick tips for boosting you application's security.
• Julien Pauli, will talk about "A view in the PHP Virtual Machine. This talk is about how PHP works. We'll learn together how PHP compiles, optimizes then execute your scripts, both in Web environment and CLI apps. We'll dive into PHP's source code - written in C - to extract some parts of interest and study them to better understand PHP's behaviors as well as best practices in terms of performances (CPU cycles and memory allocations).
• Tobias Schultze, will be on stage to speak about "Evolving with Symfony in a long-term project". This case study will explore the API architecture of Switzerland’s biggest retail company that has been in development for 7 years. We will see what has changed over the years, both in terms of coding practices and technologies. Besides Symfony, some of the technologies used are Cloudfoundry, Varnish, RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch. Let us find out which approaches proved to be successful and which didn’t work so well.
• Zan Baldwin, will speak about "Crazy Fun Experiments with PHP (Not for Production)". I’ll show you the crazy things you can do in PHP with streams and autoloader overloading to write your own language features. I’ll also show you how you can supercharge your Symfony applications using aspect-orientated programming or encrypt source code on-the-fly using only PHP. As if that wasn’t enough, we’ll go even further and make PHP a polyglot language by importing esoteric language scripts!
• Matthias Noback, will talk about "Hexagonal Architecture with Symfony". Symfony offers many excellent components for your web and console applications. In this talk I will explain an architectural style called "Hexagonal Architecture", which will help you structure your applications in such a way that you can focus most of your development effort on the core of your application, designing it in a way that makes its production code sustainable and easy to test.
• Matthias Pigulla, will explain "HTTP Caching with Symfony 101". HTTP caching is a powerful technique to improve response times for site visitors, make more efficient use of bandwidth and reduce server load. We will have a look at the basic concepts, the different caching strategies and HTTP headers used to implement them. I will then show you a few ways how to implement HTTP level caching in your Symfony application, how to leverage the HTTP Cache included in the framework and resolve the mystery around ESI.
• Magnus Nordlander, will speak about "How fitness helps you become a better developer". We often think of technical skills as the way to level up as developers, but we're not (yet) brains-in-a-vat. Our body and physical health are crucial to be able to work well as developers. In this talk I speak both about the science behind fitness and nutrition, and my personal journey of losing over 70 kgs, starting to go to the gym, how it affected me as a developer, as well as the shocking secret behind what happened to the Sound of Symfony podcast.

Check out the conference schedule! We'll soon announce the entire conference schedule, stay tuned!

We can't wait to meet you at SymfonyCon Amsterdam 2019, register now for the conference or for a combo pre-conference workshops and conference!

See you at the conference!

After two years of development and years of R&D with our partners: the technology behind SymfonyCloud is now production ready. We are thus super happy to announce the general availability of SymfonyCloud!

Ryan Weaver, Symfony Core Team member and SymfonyCasts founder:

Thanks to SymfonyCloud, we deleted thousands of lines of infrastructure config. What did we get in return? More reliable deployments, faster response times, automatic security upgrades, true staging environments & endless debugging tools. It’s made for Symfony apps, which means it handles a lot of details for us. But we also extended it hard: microservices that talk to each other, Elasticsearch, Redis, multiple databases & even some crazy things with workers & custom video processing tools. SymfonyCloud makes doing all of this (with a small team and no sys-admins) possible.

Damien Alexandre, French consultant at JoliCode, PHP and Elasticsearch expert:

Currently playing with @symfony Cloud for a new project

• basic setup deployed in a couple of hours;
• great configuration format;
• no ops, no admin-sys;
• even managed to run the @redirectionio agent, thanks to @tucksaun

So far, so good

SymfonyCloud, our PaaS optimized for Symfony applications, has been unveiledlast December. Since then, we have opened registration for Early Access to the platform on a daily basis. We gathered a lot of feedback during the last six months of Early Access. It allowed us to improve the product a lot: UI, DX, documentation, support, and billing.

This might not be easy for everyone not involved in SymfonyCloud development to follow everything that happened during the last months so today I would like to share with you some of our achievements.

SymfonyCloud is a fully-managed platform created by friendly Symfony developers for busy Symfony developers. It is the best way to host your Symfony applications. It tightly integrates with Symfony's best practices and development workflow to give you the tools to develop locally with comfort and deploy with confidence. This is especially true for the latest versions of Symfony 4 with the Built-In Environment Variable Processors,workers implementation (to manage the queues in the Messenger component) or RabbitMQ Management UI enabled by default just like any other supported services (MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Memcached, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Influx DB, Solr, Varnish, and Kafka...).

SymfonyCloud allows you to completely define and configure the topology and services you want to use on your projects. Unlike other PaaS services, SymfonyCloud is batteries included which means that you don't need to subscribe to external services to get a cache or a search engine. And that those services are managed. When you back up your project, all of the services are backed-up. It also guarantees full compatibility with the Symfony CLI local web server to test locally your services from production.

A perfect use-case of SymfonyCloud is symfony.com!

The symfony.com website is hosted on SymfonyCloud since the opening of the Early Access registration. It totally changed the way we hosted the website before and allowed us to:

• Get more people being able to deploy;

• Work on an exact replica of our production environment to add new features and work bug fixes. For instance, we were super confident to update to Symfony 4.3 as we could test everything!

• Considerably simplify the deployment coordination (everything is now configured in 1 file of less than 200 lines of YAML);

• Change only 1 line in the config (well to be correct, just 1 number actually) to update PHP 7.1 to 7.3;

• Cut off the deployment downtime to 0 (no need anymore to wait to access the website during its deployment).

SymfonyCloud brings you simplicity and confidence in your infrastructure management:

• Describe your infrastructure
• Deploy continuously
• Synchronize your app data and services

Titouan Galopin, Symfony developer:

At En Marche (a French political party), we were used to rely on Kubernetes on Google Cloud to orchestrate and manage our Symfony applications. We invested a lot of time and resources into building a scalable and reliable environment with it.

However, as the party grew, we had less and less time to dedicate to infrastructure. When we launched the European elections campaign in December 2018, we decided to switch to SymfonyCloud. The result was outstanding: we got the same level of scalability and reliability, with additional flexibility, zero-downtime deployment, dropping thousands of lines of YAML and for a cheaper price. Everything became much simpler in an instant.

But in my opinion, what’s even more interesting is how SymfonyCloud helped us organize our IT department around the needs of the different other departments. By being able to host different Git branches in parallel on different URLs, we were able to work on the same project for both the legal department, the political department and the accounting, iterating on three different features in parallel with different interlocutors. This alone saved us dozens of meetings and hundreds of hours of many people across the entire organization.

Deploy today, get started now with SymfonyCloud!

This week, Symfony added a new component called ErrorHandler to continue the work to replace the Debug component. Meanwhile, the PropertyAccess component improved the error messages in lots of edge cases. Finally, SymfonyCloud, the best way to host your Symfony applications, announced its general availability.

Conference days on November 21-22

We’re still reviewing all the talk proposals we received for the conference and we’d like to thank again all the people who took the time to submit a talk proposal for the conference. We’ve selected more conference speakers and are very pleased to share with you who will be speaking at the conference! For those who don’t know it yet, the conference schedule will be divided into 4 tracks during our 2-day conference: advanced Symfony track, beginner Symfony track, PHP track and an Unconference track.

We’ll have the great honor to welcome at the conference (in order of appearance on the conference schedule):

• Valentin Udaltsov will speak about "How to contribute to Symfony and why you should give it a try". Valentin is an active Symfony contributor since 3 years. Not only it's a way to thank the project, it's also an immense source of knowledge and communication for him. He would like to share his experience and to encourage contributing to Symfony. He'll present how participation in an open source project makes you a better developer; the easy steps to join the Symfony ecosystem; where to get an idea for a pull request; branches and roadmap; coding standards, conventions and backward compatibility; rebase flow; review process.
• Jachim Coudenys will be on stage to speak about "How Doctrine caching can skyrocket your application". Besides the fact that Doctrine will help you develop faster, so a little overhead doesn't really matter, there are numerous options to increase the performance of the application. By understanding how the system works in the first place, a lot of issues can be avoided right away. When you have done everything to avoid these pitfalls, you can bring in the big guns: caching. Doctrine has different caching mechanism and since Doctrine 2.5 "Second Level Cache" was added to our toolbox. After this talk, you should know what the impact is of every cache and how to use it.
• Adiel Cristo will talk about "Crawling the Web with the New Symfony Components". When developing an application, a common feature we need to implement is gathering data from other sources. These data are available in various forms, usually unstructured, and behind some JS application, making them harder to reach. In this talk we'll use the Symfony's HttpClient, Messenger and Panther to build a crawler, first as a simple console application, then evolving to a distributed one.
• Alessandro Lai will present a talk about "Adding Event Sourcing to an existing PHP project (for the right reasons). "Event Sourcing", along with "CQRS", have recently become trending terms, and now there is so much theory, blog posts and talks about them. This talk is a case history in which I will tell you (with little theory and a lot of practical examples) how we decided to add event sourcing to an already existing project (without eradicating the rest or rewriting it), to solve a specific problem (reporting and its history) for which this methodology proved to be the perfect solution.
• Kévin Dunglas will speak about "HYPErmedia: leveraging HTTP/2 and Symfony for better and faster web APIs. Over the years, several formats have been created to fix performance bottlenecks of web APIs: the n+1 problem, over fetching, under fetching… Leveraging HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 unveil the true powers of the web (hypermedia architecture) with no compromises with performance. During this presentation, we’ll learn how to design our APIs to be able to maximise the benefits provided by HTTP/2. Better, Symfony already contain all the tools you need to create (WebLink, API Platform) and consume (HttpClient) such APIs. We will discover these gems together.
• Tobias Sjösten will talk about "What happens when you press enter in the browser?. As a technical interviewer, one of the questions I like to ask the most is "what happens when I write www.example.com in the browser and then press enter?". The answer reveals a lot about the interviewee's understanding of a vast number of technologies that fringes web development. In this talk, I will go through exactly what happens, down to excruciating detail, so that you will be better prepared for your future job interview.
• Andrii Yatsenko will present "Make the Most out of Twig. Twig is the most powerful templating engine in the PHP world that enables us to create highly complex projects with hundreds of multi-level extended templates, thousands of blocks, functions, filters, tests, and macros. It also offers a sandbox, a unique but not a widely used feature that creating secure user-editable templates. In addition, there are a number of handy built-in and external debugging tools available in the Twig ecosystem to simplify the day-to-day work process for a Twig designer. In this presentation, I will talk about how extensively we use Twig in a complex open-source e-commerce project.
• Stefan Koopmanschap will speak about "Mental Health in the Workplace. Mental health is an important part of life, yet mental illness is big. Perhaps bigger than you might think when looking around you. In this talk, you'll be introduced to some basics on mental health and mental illness, and given some tips and handholds on how to handle mental illness on the work floor.
• Michelle Sanver will be on stage to talk about "Importing bad data: Outputting good data with Symfony. The role of our API in Switzerland is to consume a lot of data that was not meant for a digital age, and to transform it into beautiful output, for one of the biggest retailer API’s in Switzerland. This is a journey of consuming a lot of data and API’s from different sources and in different formats. Some of them made us laugh, some of us got migraines. We built a smooth architecture to consume and output data. I am proud of our architecture that we seamlessly upgraded to keep latest versions, now Symfony 4 along the way. I want to share how we managed to keep this API up to date for over 5 years, and our architecture that we use to make it happen.

• Pre-conference workshops day on September 12th
• Conference day including 2 tracks on September 13th

The entire event will be held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel.

Pre-conference workshops day

On September 12th, we're organizing several workshops to enable all of you to get trained on Symfony and its ecosystem before the conference day. You can choose one workshop topic among the 4 workshops we offer:

• Getting ready for Symfony 5 by Nicolas Grekas - Symfony. Learn how to prepare a Symfony 4 app for version 5, to be released next November and all the new best practices recommended by the Symfony Core team, including the new way of using the latest improved components, whether you know them already or not.
• Building API-driven apps with API Platform by Kévin Dunglas - Les-Tilleuls.coop. Learn how to use and extend the most popular features of the API Platform: data providers and persisters, docs, pagination, validation, sorting, filtering, authentication, authorization, content negotiation, Mercure live update and much more! This hands-on workshop is focused on the server part of the framework (PHP).
• Practical Design Patterns with Symfony by Titouan Galopin - SymfonyInsight lead. Discover Software Architecture from the point of view of a Symfony developer. We will discuss the Design Patterns implemented by the framework and learn how these patterns can help you develop better Symfony applications. We will also implement the most important of these patterns in a real-world Symfony application in order to give you effective practical tools for your next project.
• Profiling Symfony & PHP apps by Dmytro Naumenko - Blackfire expert. Profiling an application should always be the first step in trying to improve its performance. With this workshop, learn how to identify performance issues in your application and adopt the best profiling practices in your daily development habits. This workshop will use the Blackfire.io tool to help you identify performance leaks.

No matter your level or your Symfony skills, all our workshops are open to anyone who knows the basis of Symfony. Our trainers are happy to adapt their workshops to your expertise needs. If you're a beginner or an advanced Symfony developer, you'll always get the most out of our workshops at your own path. Find out more details about our workshops!

Conference day

The conference day will be split into 2 tracks, we're super happy to welcome 14 amazing speakers! Here is a sneak peek of the conference schedule:

• Fabien Potencier, Symfony founder/project lead, will be on stage for the Opening Keynote where he'll announce a new component...!
• Neal Brooks, PHP engineer who likes using Symfony, will speak about "Restless microservices with Symfony". When we think about microservices we usually imagine a bunch of self-contained and job-focused applications, each specifying and managing their own boundaries and dependencies, and talking to each other over HTTP / REST APIs. In this presentation we’ll dig into the structure of microservices, think about the major pros and cons, and see if we can tweak it into something a bit more developer-friendly without losing the benefits.
• Valentine Boineau, SymfonyInsight Developer, will present a talk entitled "Symfony Checker is coming". Have you ever heard of the PHP AST? Maybe not... CFG and SSA? Probably not! In this talk, I will introduce these cool algorithms, how they are used in code quality analysis and how we leveraged them in a project I'm working on: the Symfony Checker.
• Dan Blows, will talk about "Feeling unfulfilled by SPA promises? Go back to Twig". We’ve all heard the benefits of building a client-side app in JavaScript that talks to a server-side REST API. But often this approach introduces a lot of accidental complexity, without really delivering the gains. How can you get the best of both worlds? In this talk, I’ll show how to get the simplicity of server-side rendering with the architectural and performance improvements of an SPA.
• Kamil Kokot, Open Source maintainer and contributor, Software Engineer at Sylius, founder of Friends Of Behat, will talk about "BDD Your Symfony Application". Behaviour Driven Development helps bridge the communication gap between business and IT. This talk will explain the basics of BDD methodology, best practices for writing Cucumber scenarios and how to integrate Symfony with Behat by using a new emerging solution - FriendsOfBehat's SymfonyExtension. I will share the practical insights distilled from 4 years of developing and maintaining the biggest open-source Behat suite which is a part of Sylius.
• Tugdual Saunier, SymfonyCloud Product Manager, will introduce you to "SymfonyCloud: the infrastructure of the Symfony ecosystem". You don't know it yet but you are already using SymfonyCloud every day! Since 2018, the infrastructure of the Symfony community gradually migrated to SymfonyCloud. He'll show you what happens behind the scene and how we leverage every SymfonyCloud features to move faster.

Discover the entire conference schedule!

If you're not yet registered to SymfonyLive London 2019, take your conference ticket or combo ticket pre-conference workshop and conference at regular rate until August 5th (included). Past this date, the price will increase.

See you soon at SymfonyLive London 2019!

As of Symfony 5.0, we are changing the way we manage security issues for standard releases. A standard release is any minor version that is not a LTS release: so, versions X.0, X.1, x.2, and x.3.

For these standard releases, we will align the EOM (end of maintenance) date with the EOL (end of life) date. So, instead of having 14 months of security fixes, we will only have 8 months.

For instance, Symfony 4.3 EOM date is January 2020 and EOL date is July 2020. With the new rules, EOL would have been January 2020. Symfony 5.0 will be the first release to implement the change: EOM and EOL dates will be July 2020.

We are making this change as backporting (or forwardporting) security issue patches on these versions proved to be difficult and time consuming (the code might have diverged a lot from the previous LTS but also from the current maintained minor version). We think that this extra time spent doing that is not worth it as projects following standard versions upgrade fast.

To be clear, this change does not affect LTS releases (4.4, 5.4, ...).

The "Release Process" page in the documentation has been updated accordingly.

This week, Symfony continued working on adding compatibility with the latest PHPUnit versions and made the PHPUnit Bridge component act as a polyfill for newest PHPUnit features. The translations of validation messages were also updated for some languages. Finally, Symfony announced some changes for standard version releases to align their end of support for both regular and security issues.
