About Yii

Its's pronounced "Yee" or ji: and it can stand for "Yes It Is!" or in Chinese, "simple and evolutionary". Yii is an object-oriented, component-based framework following the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture that runs on PHP. Being a framework, it competes with Laravel and Symfony.

Yii is a versatile framework, applicable to create various web projects like blogs and content management systems (CMS), e-commerce platforms, enterprise applications, web APIs, social networks, forums or any kind of website.

Yii is powering other systems such as Craft CMS as well.

Frequently asked

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

Git push - Push the repository; the build runs Composer and swaps in the release atomically. Add a MySQL component, set env vars in the dashboard, and run console commands and migrations over SSH.

#
How much resource does Yii need?
It depends

It depends - A full Yii application benefits from a larger PHP component, so scale it up and give MySQL room. Start on the free trial and scale the components as the app grows.

#
Can I host an older version of Yii, like Yii 1 or 2?
Yes

Yes - The framework version lives in the codebase and a matching PHP release is selected per app, so a legacy Yii 1 or Yii 2 app keeps running. Older versions may need an older PHP version, which can be selected.

#
Can I try Yii hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - New apps start as a free trial — seven days, no credit card.

#
Which database does Yii use on fortrabbit?
MySQL

MySQL - Add a MySQL component and point Yii's database connection at it via env vars. It is the relational database available here.
