Keynote: Symfony without the Framework Bundle
summary
Argues that Symfony performance depends on what code runs, not the framework label, and demonstrates building tiny services (URL shortener, geocoder, queue worker) by wiring HttpKernel/Container, compiling services to cache, and using php-pm to avoid per-request bootstrap. Shows cache stampede protection in the new Cache component, uses PSR-15 middleware and Blackfire profiling, and reports sub‑3ms responses for a lightweight queue consumer. Recommends buy better hardware, varnish, or run less code as the practical ordering.
