- Symfony is a high-performance PHP framework designed for building modern web applications, APIs, and microservices. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and emphasizes reusability, modularity, and scalability.
- Symfony is one of the top 3 PHP frameworks globally. (The most popular is Laravel.)
- While Laravel dominates in smaller projects and startups, Symfony is widely used for enterprise, government, and long-term projects due to its robustness and maintainability. In enterprise usage, Symfony often ranks first.
- Symfony’s components (e.g., HttpFoundation, EventDispatcher, Console, Routing, etc.) are used even outside the framework — for example, Laravel uses many Symfony components under the hood.
- Symfony’s architecture is stable, modular, and future-proof. It’s the framework big companies choose when they need to maintain a system for 5–10+ years.
