Build a Symfony app with CMS features — without leaving Symfony

Often, when developing an app in Symfony, the need arises to add CMS functionality. The usual approach is to integrate external solutions like WordPress or create decoupled microsites, but this complicates maintenance and fragments the experience. In this article, we propose a more coherent solution: incorporating the CMS within the Symfony application itself, maintaining a clean and unified architecture for both the technical and content teams. We present Armonic, a CMS that integrates as a bundle with Symfony and allows content management without breaking the application logic. Armonic adapts to the needs of the project, is easily extensible, and doesn't impose rigid structures. In future articles, we will compare this solution with other alternatives in the Symfony ecosystem to see in which cases it makes the most sense to use it.

If you manage a certain infrastructure, have developments for multiple clients with test projects, pre-production machines, deployment with artifacts, etc., in the end the infrastructure bill goes up and can become a problem.
