Choix de version, socle vs from scratch, les briques qu'un SaaS a avant sa première ligne de produit, et les spécificités françaises (facturation électronique, TVA, RGPD) qu'aucun boilerplate américain ne gère. Guide complet, daté de juillet 2026.
Read moreTransactional email now fails closed: Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook reject unauthenticated mail outright. The DNS records that matter, the DMARC alignment rule that explains them, and the Symfony-side mistakes we made so you don't have to.
Read moreSymfony ships passwordless sign-in in the security component. Here is a production login_link setup: signature invalidation, enumeration-proof requests, rate limiting, and the 2FA interplay nobody writes about.
Read moreWe removed EasyAdmin from ShipAnvil and replaced it with 1,321 lines of plain controllers, Twig and Tailwind. The metrics that matter, the honest definitions behind them, and when you should (and shouldn't) do the same.
Read moreThe complete production recipe for a Symfony SaaS on a plain Linux box: a dedicated system user, a tuned PHP-FPM pool, OPcache with timestamp checks off, the Messenger worker everyone forgets, TLS, hardening, backups, and a deploy routine that doesn't drift. From a server running real products.
Read moreE-invoicing's most-confused names don't compete. They live at four different layers: semantic model, XML syntax, PDF packaging, delivery network. A working map for developers, the 2026 mandate landscape it has to fit, and the one architecture that serves all of it.
Read moreHow to produce EN 16931-compliant Factur-X / ZUGFeRD hybrid invoices in plain PHP: the document model, the horstoeko/zugferd mapping, PDF/A-3 embedding, and the business rules that actually reject documents, from an engine that passes the official KoSIT Schematron in CI.
Read moreShipFast is Next.js-only: there is no PHP or Symfony version. Here's what actually exists for Symfony developers in 2026, what died, and how to choose in ten minutes.
Read moreA full production SaaS (Tailwind 4, Stimulus, Turbo, a streaming AI chat) with no package.json, no node_modules and no bundler. The exact AssetMapper setup, dev loop and deploy pipeline, from a shipping codebase.
Read moreA blocking CI pipeline for e-invoice conformance: the official KoSIT validator for Factur-X/CII, the OpenPEPPOL Schematron compiled with SchXslt and run with Saxon for UBL, and a tiny SVRL gate, with the five real bugs it caught before any customer did.
Read moreWho handles EU VAT, what the fees really buy, when each one wins, and why the sane architecture lets you switch without rewriting your billing.
Read moreA production 2FA setup with scheb/2fa-bundle: confirmed activation, hashed single-use backup codes, and the design decisions that separate a checkbox from a security feature.
Read moreBug fixes until November 2028, security fixes until November 2029, and what that actually means when you're choosing the version your business will sit on.
Read moreFastfony, ShipDead, Kitto, Parthenon, building it yourself, and ShipAnvil: what each one actually ships, verified point by point in June 2026.
Read moreA production architecture for Claude in a Symfony SaaS: scoped HttpClient, SSE streaming to the browser, tool-use extraction, retries, and AI quotas wired into your billing plans.
Read moreThe single-database tenancy model that scales from side project to real B2B: organizations, memberships, and an SQL filter that scopes every query automatically, with the pitfalls that bite in production.
Read moreHosted Checkout, a webhook inbox, idempotent processing through Messenger and a normalized subscription state: the billing design patterns that don't fall over, with code.
Read moreEvery Symfony SaaS boilerplate was either dead, demo-grade or both. After fifteen years of building the same foundations for clients, I built the one I always wanted to start from.
