Symfony hosting

Composer and Git deploys, SSH access, and components that scale on demand.

Symfony is not only a set of PHP components. It's a web application framework, a philosophy and a community — all working together in harmony. The predictable release cycle and the LTS are unique in our fast moving industry.

The fortrabbit hosting environment works smoothly with the Symfony framework and with many Symfony based projects. Installing Symfony on fortrabbit is straightforward: a git push deploys the code, and Composer runs as part of the build. We love it too and use it a lot. Some of our backend services are based on Symfony and API Platform. That's why we can give you good support for it. fortrabbit has a track record for fast, reliable and secure hosting. It's less expensive than some more enterprise solutions.

Frequently asked

How do I deploy a Symfony app to fortrabbit?
Git push

Git push - Push the repository; the deploy runs Composer, then build steps like `cache:clear` and `assets:install`, and swaps in the new release atomically. Set `APP_ENV` and secrets as env vars in the dashboard. fortrabbit runs Symfony in its own backend, so the setup is well-trodden.

#
Can I host an older or LTS version of Symfony?
Yes

Yes - Symfony's predictable release cycle is one of its strengths, and the `composer.json` decides the version. Pair an LTS release with a matching PHP version and run it as long as needed; the upgrade happens when it suits the project.

#
Do Messenger workers and the scheduler run here?
Yes

Yes - The Symfony scheduler and `messenger:consume` run from cron jobs, and full SSH access covers console commands, migrations, and debugging as usual.

#
Can I try Symfony hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - New apps start as a free trial — seven days, no credit card — enough to deploy a real Symfony project and check the response times.

#
Which database does Symfony use on fortrabbit?
MySQL

MySQL - Add a MySQL component and point Doctrine at it via the database env vars. It is the standard relational database here for a Symfony app.
