v0.3.0-RC1 is out and available for testing

🚀 Introducing Fastfony: The Pragmatic Symfony Starter-Kit You’ve Been Waiting For (if you are Symfony PHP Developers) !

Hey devs!

I’m super excited (and, let’s be honest, a little nervous 😅) to announce the very first Release Candidate of Fastfony — a pragmatic starter-kit for Symfony that I’ve poured around 200 hours of work into, so you don’t have to.

Why Fastfony?

If you’ve ever kicked off a new Symfony project, you know the drill:

You start by setting up the same stack, the same basic features, and the same best practices — over and over. There are some “boilerplate” projects out there, but nothing truly opinionated and flexible that covers the professional needs and patterns I (and, I bet, you) use in the real world.

That’s where Fastfony comes in. Think of it as a complete, production-ready boilerplate and a customizable starter-kit rolled into one. It provides you with a solid, functional technical stack, plus all those essential features you end up building in every Symfony project — in their simplest, most customizable form.

What’s Inside?

  • A full-featured Symfony base with modern best practices baked in.
  • Ready-to-customize features that you’ll want in every project, but stripped to their essentials so you can make them your own.
  • Pragmatic defaults: sensible, flexible, and designed for commercial/pro use.
  • A release plan tied to the official Symfony release calendar — because I’m the first user of Fastfony, and I’ll be maintaining it for real projects.

Launching Today on Product Hunt!

I’ve just dropped Fastfony on Product Hunt — and, well, it only has 5 upvotes as I write this! If you like what you see, I’d love your support, but more importantly, your feedback. 😍

Open for Feedback (Positive and Negative!)

This is just the beginning. I’m sure there are things to improve — and I’m counting on the dev community to help me make Fastfony even better. Whether you’re excited, skeptical, or have suggestions, I want to hear from you! Every bit of criticism will help shape Fastfony’s future.

Sustainable & Professional

To make ongoing development sustainable (and because this is a pro-grade tool), Fastfony will be offered as a subscription license for commercial use. But regardless of its commercial success or mass adoption, I will keep it updated and evolving — because I rely on it for my own projects, too.


Thanks for reading, and thanks even more if you give Fastfony a try!

Let’s build better Symfony projects, faster, together.

Feel free to check it out, give feedback, or just come say hi! 🚀
