While experimenting with the new Symfony AI component, I realized that you cannot only build MCP servers for your application but also have an MCP server integrated that exposes insights in your Symfony app for your coding agent. This component is called the AI Mate.
Happy to announce that I will be speaking at the ConFoo 2026 developer conference in Montreal, Canada in February this year.
We've been leveraging Gally, a next generation Searchandising Engine, in several of our e-commerce projects. However, integrating the required services into our DDEV setups has become a repetitive task, involving manual copying and pasting.
How can we streamline this process and make it more efficient?
In May, Sylius released their new Test Application project, which defines a shared testing environment designed to simplify plugin development and testing.
Mark your calendars for October 29th and 30th, as Bad Nauheim will be the place to be. My friends from programmier.bar are hosting the programmier.con - Web & AI Edition 2025 conference, and I'm excited to have been invited to give a talk about DDEV, a topic that was recently featured on the programmier.bar podcast.
On the 19th of September, I will be speaking once again at the PHP Developer Day Conference organized by my friends of the PHP Usergroup Dresden.
We use DDEV for almost all of our PHP projects. Also, we use FrankenPHP in our projects, but so far only in production.
Can we make FrankenPHP also run in DDEV to have a more consistent development environment?
In a recent project, we dealt with 2 DDEV instances — 2 applications that need to communicate with each other or, more specifically, exchange files.
