This is for teams building or scaling a backend on Symfony, whether that's a new API-first product, a service under real load, or an existing Symfony codebase that needs a steadier footing.

Custom Symfony Development Services

We build Symfony applications that drop into the architecture and data models you already run, rather than fighting them. Backend reliability, clean service boundaries, and systems that scale without a rewrite are what we optimise for, so delivery stays quick and the platform keeps extending confidently as the roadmap moves.

We build structured, long-lasting Symfony applications, component-based PHP with clean architecture, Doctrine ORM, and strong typing so complex business requirements stay maintainable and testable for years.

How we help

We settle the architecture and domain model first, then build in reviewable increments with tests and monitoring so the app scales without accruing debt.

We build APIs with Symfony and API Platform. REST and GraphQL endpoints with automatic documentation, validation, and serialization so you ship robust, well-documented interfaces fast.

How we help

We design contract-first, lean on API Platform's tooling, and add auth and rate limiting so the API holds up as usage grows.

We modernise ageing PHP and legacy Symfony apps, upgrading versions, removing deprecated dependencies, and refactoring toward clean, testable modules without stalling active development.

How we help

We map risks up front, upgrade in phased steps, and keep the app shippable so modernisation happens alongside feature delivery.

We build Symfony-powered platforms, portals, and SaaS backends designed for complex requirements and long lifespans, the kind of application where structure and maintainability matter more than a fast prototype.

How we help

We structure the codebase for change with clear layering and Symfony components so the platform adapts without turning into technical debt.

We diagnose and fix Symfony performance problems, slow endpoints, heavy Doctrine queries, and caching gaps that surface under load, profiling against real traffic and tuning what moves the numbers.

How we help

We measure before changing anything, optimise queries and caching where it pays, and verify each fix against production-like load.

We connect Symfony applications to the CRMs, ERPs, payment systems, and APIs your business runs on, using Messenger and resilient patterns so data stays consistent under load.

How we help

We handle external quirks with retries, idempotency, and clear error handling, and use Messenger for reliable async processing.

Symfony experts, AI-augmented

These are the AI coding tools our engineers use to ship faster and keep code clean, distinct from the AI systems we design and build for you.

The Symfony toolset

The Symfony tooling we rely on, grouped by what it does, and chosen deliberately from experience. Pick an area to see what we reach for and why.

We deploy Symfony applications on battle-tested servers and runtimes that support both traditional synchronous and modern asynchronous workloads in a controlled, production-ready environment.

PHP-FPM
Nginx
RoadRunner
FrankenPHP

We build Symfony APIs and data-access layers with clear contracts, strong validation, and efficient queries so clients and services integrate cleanly.

API Platform
Doctrine
Serializer
GraphQL

We pair Symfony with the right databases and persistence tooling, modelling data for correctness, integrity, and performance under load.

PostgreSQL
MySQL
Doctrine ORM
Redis

We move heavy, scheduled, and long-running work off the Symfony request path into reliable background jobs and async processing.

Messenger
RabbitMQ
Kafka
Cron

We keep Symfony fast under real traffic with layered caching, connection pooling, and targeted performance tuning.

Redis
Cache Component
OPcache
Varnish

We hold Symfony code to a high bar with automated tests, coverage, and static analysis wired across the pipeline.

PHPUnit
Pest
Panther
PHPStan

We secure Symfony applications with proven authentication, authorization, and data-protection tooling built in from the start.

Security Bundle
OAuth2
JWT
