Symfony is a powerful PHP framework that helps developers create robust and scalable web applications.
If you work with Symfony, you need a hosting solution tailored to the specific requirements of this framework. In this article, you'll learn everything about our completely individual Symfony hosting offer - from consultation to configuration and implementation to 24x7 support.
Symfony is a flexible and extensible PHP framework that helps developers efficiently create web applications. It offers numerous reusable components and a modular architecture that makes it easy to develop and maintain complex applications.
Customized hosting for your Symfony applications offers you numerous advantages. By adapting the hosting environment to the specific requirements of your project, you can maximize performance, increase security, and ensure smooth scalability.
We can operate the following services and components for your Symfony application:
Varnish as a web accelerator
Redis as a caching layer
RabbitMQ as a messaging queue
Elasticsearch for full-text search (alternatively also OpenSearch)
Meilisearch as a lightweight Elasticsearch alternative
MariaDB/MySQL or PostgreSQL as a database
Docker - if you need additional applications as Docker containers
We typically use "Latest and Greatest" PHP versions - currently this is PHP 8.3. Of course, we are also flexible here and help with the operation of all supported PHP versions - you can find a current PHP support overview at endoflife.date.
Server settings: Optimization of the server environment for Symfony, including PHP version, database configuration, and caching mechanisms.
Deployments: Setting up automated deployments to enable continuous integration and delivery.
Security measures: Implementation of SSL certificates, firewalls, and other security protocols.
Even after implementing your Symfony application, it's important to have access to technical support. The support helps you quickly solve problems and optimize the performance of your application.
24/7 monitoring: Constant monitoring of hosting performance and the application.
Troubleshooting: Quick resolution of technical problems.
Performance optimization: Ongoing adjustments to improve application performance.
For the operation and monitoring of your Symfony application, we provide various tools:
Uptime monitoring service that monitors HTTP endpoints worldwide
Monitoring of SSL certificates
Error and application log monitoring (Sentry Self-Hosted)
Metrics and graphs of the servers and services used (PHP-FPM, MySQL, etc.)
The costs can vary greatly depending on the specific requirements of your application and the scope of services needed. It's advisable to obtain and compare offers from several providers.
We charge for the operation per server and the rest based on effort. The servers themselves are billed directly to you - see also here on the topic of individual managed servers.
Implementation can take from a few hours to several days depending on the complexity and size of your application.
Usually, we have well-suited, automated playbooks that we can customize for you individually and then use repeatedly.
Individual hosting offers optimal performance, increased security, better scalability, and a tailored environment that is precisely matched to your application.
Compare different providers based on their services, costs, support offerings, and experience reports from other users.
You are welcome to speak with our existing customers such as Everysize or KRUU, for whom we operate various Symfony applications.
Well-configured and supported Symfony hosting can make a significant difference in the performance and security of your application. Through professional consultation, careful configuration, smooth implementation, and reliable support, you can ensure that your Symfony project runs optimally and meets your requirements.
