Structuring an application around its domain rather than its framework is an old idea. Making it practical has sometimes felt like swimming against the current.

Thanks to the way Symfony 8 leverages modern PHP, this drastically changes. Recent evolutions in both the language and the framework align naturally with hexagonal thinking and tactical DDD patterns — no workarounds, no fighting the tools.

Join me as I wear both my Core Team member and DDD practitioner hats to give a pragmatic look at putting your business logic first, building applications that scale with your domain's complexity and remain maintainable as they grow, with Symfony's blessing.
