Symfony User Group Cologne June 2025

June 26, 2025

18:30 – 21:30

🇩🇪 Cologne (Germany)

Hallo liebe Symfony- & PHP-Community,wir freuen uns, euch zu unserem nächsten Symfony User Group Meetup einzuladen! Der Talk wird diesmal auf Englisch sein.🎤 Talk: "Running Symfony in a Multi-Process Container" by Anne-Julia SeitzTalk description:The deployment scenario for PHP looks a little different than for other languages like Go or Ruby that have embedded webservers. The classic stack of NGINX/Apache + php-fpm doesn't perfectly fit in the container world. Some solution providers, like DigitalOcean or certain Azure products, only allow for single containers to be deployed. In this talk, we'll explore ways other people have solved this, like FrankenPHP and others. For production deployments, there is k8s, swarm, compose, and running everything in one multiprocess container. These single containers could be orchestrated with systemd, supervisord, or Runit. We'll talk about the benefits and downsides of these solutions, compare them with the choice we made for our last project, s6-overlay, show off the s6-cli project I developed for this purpose and talk about recipes for running database migrations, cronjobs and a few more.***🗓 Ablauf18:30 Uhr – Ankommen & Get-Together19:00 Uhr – Intro19:10 Uhr – Talk: Anne-Julia Seitz – „Running Symfony in a Multi-Process Container“20:00 Uhr – Essen, Getränke & Austausch🍕🥤 Für Verpflegung ist gesorgt.Wir freuen uns auf euch!📸 Hinweis: Während der Veranstaltung werden Fotos und Videos aufgenommen, die ggf. im Internet veröffentlicht werden.
