Symfony
Definition: A modern PHP framework that provides the technical foundation for TYPO3 v12 and v13, offering components for routing, HTTP processing, console commands, and more.
Everyday analogy: Like the chassis of a car. You don’t see it directly, but every bolt, every tire, and every steering wheel relies on it.
How we use it: TYPO3 developers benefit from Symfony standards, which means lower maintenance costs, a larger pool of available developers, and less need for specialized TYPO3 knowledge.
