From very popular Open Source projects like Drupal, Laravel, and PHP's own dependency management library Composer, Symfony components have played a great role in the resurgence and proliferation of reusable components in the PHP community. We'll cover some of the most useful and commonly used Symfony components, as well as many overlooked ones, with useful real life scenarios and examples. Whether you have never heard of Symfony, or are longtime enthusiast, you should leave this talk with new ideas that could be useful for your current projects.

Premature Optimization: Building in Scaling The Right Way Before You Scale

OOP, MVC, MVVM, microservices, single page apps, Docker and so much more. With all the focus on properly designed apps it can be hard to tell when you're setting up good patterns or just over optimizing. Let's talk about some optimizations that save time from the start. This talk is based on many years of experience of doing projects of varies sizes, and the commonalities between the small and the big, all which helped me to lead a time to create a platform that is combustable to handle thousands of requests a minute. Some things we'll cover are: - Dev-Ops optimizations - Release flow optimizations - Dependency management - Config management - Project Structure - Platform thinking vs App thinking - Services and when to use them You should leave with some good ideas and ways to tell if you're optimizing prematurely or if you're setting up a foundation for rapid development.
