Symfony for applications that must stay understandable as they grow
Symfony is particularly well suited when business rules become important. Its ecosystem makes it possible to structure validation, security, events, messaging, commands and data access without reinventing every mechanism.
Not letting the framework become the architecture
That said, we take care not to let the framework become the architecture. The business domain must remain readable and the dependencies between components explicit.
Restraint pays off on long projects
On long-running projects, this restraint makes testing, upgrades and onboarding new developers easier.

Tell us about the business domain: it should structure the application, not the framework.
