Symfony

Hi all - we've built a very custom and complex application and UI using custom Vue.js + Nuxt.js, which sits on top of a GraphQL API provided by Symfony.

It's a completely custom UI for administration with lots of complex data relationships and the way we've done it has worked very well... however...

Now we need to build a second part of the system, which is a simpler CRUD style application for managing a simpler data object, but one that still has many relationships. It doesn't need quite as much flexibility, but we do need to deliver it faster if possible.

We've looked at various options, for example: - What we've got (Symfony/GraphQL/Apollo/Vue/Nuxt) - A simpler version of the above using a REST API - Symfony + API-Platform + Vue3 - Native Symfony server rendered

When we consider other frameworks, we always seem to hit stumbling blocks - my lead developer is not keen to use anything that will restrict what he can do, but I also need to consider whether there are faster / cheaper / better solutions out there.

The frameworks all seem to be able to create the code to update / delete individual data tables with ease, but make it difficult / impossible when there are complex data relationships.

Does anyone have any other ideas before we continue the way we are doing things?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone! I'm starting a personal project that I've been postponing for a little while and I need a bit of advice. I thought that it will be a bit of a challenge but I figure the best way to learn is by doing!

The plan is to build an app with loads of automation build in for reporting which would make it very easy to perform tasks, The plan is to build something similar to an HR app using microservice architecture, separating services e.g. employee data, payroll (including calculations based on easily entered info like tax %), employee services (vacation, sick day allowance booking and tabulation) and automated reporting on a pre-defined schedule (bi-weekly, monthly).

I am considering Django (as I currently know a bit of Python) and Symfony (as a friend who is a developer recommended it) but I am well aware there are other (and probably better) tools out there for the job (like maybe ExpressJS/Node.js for the backend and React/Vue.js for the front).

Background:

I have got knowledge as a DevOps, Site Reliability and Cloud engineer so once the app is built I'm very comfortable taking it to deployment.

Thank you all for your help and responses.

Hello,

I have a web application developed in Symfony and now I would like to create the mobile version of this application with Flutter but I could not interact with the services developed for example authentication. How should I do knowing that "services" are not REST services.

What do I have to do?

I'm looking to build an eCommerce website and seeking advice from professionals on the most reliable tech stack that I can use. Currently, the website is built on top of WordPress with WooCommerce, but the company has grown up, and evidently, the number of products have been increased. The site needs a fresh code because WordPress doesn't make it anymore.

The stack I'm most familiar with is PHP + Symfony + MySQL + Apache HTTP Server or NGINX. Headless eCommerce is the one I'm looking for, because of the huge complexity, it would be great to separate the backend from the frontend. Not sure about CMSs, because they had a huge amount of functionality that the application doesn't need. I've been looking also at PrestaShop, it seems ok, but not sure about customization and front-end integration. As a custom solution, I have found Sylius or Aimeos for the backend, but I'm not too sure about a frontend stack.

Could you please give some suggestions about the frontend stack and if the ones for the backend are ok?

Thinking about how to set up simple websites in the future... I was specifically looking at something simple to develop in (coming from a Symfony/Laravel background but with some experience in Vue.js). Any recommendations?

I'm about to begin working on an API, for which I plan to add GraphQL connectivity for processing data. The data processed will mainly be audio files being downloaded/uploaded with some user messaging & authentication.

I don't mind the difficulty in any service since I've used C++ (for data structures & algorithms at least) and would also say I am patient and can learn fairly quickly. My main concerns would be their performance, libraries/community, and job marketability.

Why I'm stuck between these three...

Symfony: I've programmed in PHP for back-end in a previous internship and may do so again in a few months.

Node.js: It's newer than PHP, and it's JavaScript where my front-end stack will be React and (likely) React Native.

Go: It's newer than PHP, I've heard of its good performance, and it would be nice to learn a new (growing) language.
