HTTP compression in Symfony apps

Description
Compressing HTTP responses can significantly improve the performance of your Symfony applications. But you still need to find your way through the jungle of standards and formats.

In this presentation, we'll discover how HTTP compression works, the different formats supported by modern web browsers (deflate, gzip, Brotli, and the brand new Zstandard), and how to use them correctly with Symfony.

We'll also look at which formats to compress, which not to, when to use dynamic compression, and when (and how) to pre-compress responses that can be compressed for even better performance.

From Translations to Multi Dimension Entities

Description
Content management is more than just adding a text editor to your project. Initially, you may only need a basic text editor for your Entity. However, as your project grows, you might require support for multiple languages, and when drafting or versioning come into play, things can get tricky.

In this talk, I will provide a quick introduction to different ways of data modeling and the libraries available to meet these needs. I'll also share a brief history of Sulu's content storage and explain why we decided to redesign the entire content storage system for a better future.

You'll learn how to evolve from a simple Doctrine entity to a translatable entity, and finally, to a multi-dimensional entity that supports multiple languages, drafting, versioning, and more. These concepts are reusable even if you're not using our beloved CMS.

Crafting Hybrid PHP-Go CLIs with Symfony Console

Description
Discover how to bridge the gap between legacy PHP code and the performance of Go in hybrid CLI development. Using the Symfony Console library, you'll see how we blend these two languages in the Upsun CLI, embedding the Legacy Platform.sh PHP CLI within Go for seamless functionality.

This approach not only enhances performance but also preserves backward compatibility, saving time while migrating from the older PHP-based CLI to the new, faster Go implementation. You'll learn how we maintain intuitive command routing, make it invisible to users, and tackle authentication across both platforms.

This talk is perfect for those looking to modernize their tools without starting from scratch.

Who did that? Auditing data changes at scale

Description
As your application evolves from a side project into a serious business, you will likely encounter situations where you, your support team, or even your customers question why certain configurations changed, why information is incorrect, or why data seemingly vanished "on its own." Understanding and effectively managing these issues is crucial to maintaining the integrity and reliability of your application.

This talk will explore various strategies for auditing data changes in Symfony applications. We will discuss where to begin and what factors to consider as the volume of data increases.

Symfony Mapper component

Description
Mapping is something that you see in many frameworks over the web in every programming languages. Doctrine, for example, has a quite complex mapper to transform the relational database representation to your well-known entity. After covering the history behind years of discussion and research by the Symfony community, we'll study the needs for such a component in Symfony. We'll analyse how different it is from the Symfony Serializer, and what are the solutions popular frameworks on the Web offer. At least, we'll showcase the new Mapper component and its application from API design to day to day use cases.

Platforms & Frameworks Eat Culture for Breakfast

Description
As tech leaders we like to think we’re responsible for driving organisational and cultural change, but in most cases, we’re just catching up to the possibilities created by new kinds of software, and re-forming our engineering organisations to take advantage of them.

Organisational dynamics are critical, but success at enabling fast flow is ultimately dependent upon how well your tech stack enables it. It’s technology that drives progress.

In this talk Nigel will take a tour through some history of the DevOps movement, findings from a decade of State of DevOps Reports, his experience driving change at large and small companies, discuss some relevant inflection points in software and how they influence organisational dynamics, argue that the dominance of “culture” topics divorced from technological progress fails to advance our industry, and demonstrate how platform and framework adoption drives the best kind of cultural changes.

The missing Gotenberg Bundle. Components, Assemble!

Description
Since wkhtmltopdf was deprecated, it is difficult to find an easy to use / setup library to generate PDF's. Amongst the existing solutions, we chose to focus solely on Gotenberg.

The existing SDK did not match our needs as it provides only static classes, so we decided to give a try and create ourselves a brand new Bundle with the DX possible for Symfony Developpers & PHPStorm users.

From the fast HttpClient to the forgotten Webhook, let's see how existing components can help us to make PDF generation fast and easy to use.

To do so we had to ask ourselves a few questions which we will cover together !

How do we expose a friendly, yet semantic configuration ? How to ensure great auto-completion for ease of use ? What needs to be done to have a proper Profiler ? How to keep memory efficiency by leveraging the HttpClient ? How to make the asynchrone generation easy ?

Come and discover how generating PDF's is now as easy as using twig !

The Role of Empathy in Technical Writing

Description
It’s easy to assume that our users are experts when writing documentation. But technical writing without diagrams, code examples, videos, screenshots and more can ostracise a large chunk of users who are simply searching for help when using your product. When writing technical documentation, empathy allows us to imagine ourselves as the reader: a junior developer who just started on the job, a sales manager who needs more information for a client deck, a member of the customer success team helping a client on a video call. When we’re able to understand that our docs form the foundation of knowledge for a wide range of users, we’re able to write in a manner that positively impacts all. We may be writing about logical concepts, but our approach can definitely benefit from a bit of heart. This talk will break down the vital role empathy plays in the process of writing technical documentation for users from all business backgrounds.

Running Symfony in a Multi-Process Container

Description
The deployment scenario for PHP looks a little different than for other languages like Go or Ruby that have embedded webservers. The classic stack of NGINX/Apache + php-fpm doesn't perfectly fit in the container world.

Some solution providers, like DigitalOcean or certain Azure products, only allow for single containers to be deployed.

In this talk, we'll explore ways other people have solved this, like FrankenPHP, Framework-X , and others. For production deployments, there is k8s, swarm, compose, and running everything in one multiprocess container.

These single containers could be orchestrated with systemd, supervisord, or Runit. We'll talk about the benefits and downsides of these solutions, compare them with the choice we made for our last project, s6-overlay, show off the s6-cli project I developed for this purpose and talk about recipes for running database migrations, cronjobs and a few more.

Symfony Authentication: What’s next?

Description
The Security component has changed a lot in the past few years. From Authentication Listeners to Guard and finally the Authenticator Manager system, Symfony now has the most robust infrastructure ever to support most if not all modern, industry-standard Security protocols.
