The Why – Developers spend too much time on servers,
not on code – Traffic spikes cause downtime when you can't scale fast enough – Security patches and performance tuning never stop – Environment inconsistencies between dev and production break things 2 Challenges We All Know -
What is Sulu.cloud – Platform-as-a-Service tailored specifically for Sulu CMS
– Built on SymfonyCloud’s optimised environment, running on Upsun infrastructure – Pre-configured for Sulu's specific requirements – Symfony CLI for a unified local-to-cloud workflow 3 Fully Managed PaaS for Sulu CMS Projects -
Why SymfonyCloud – Official cloud platform for Symfony applications –
Created by the Symfony team and Fabien Potencier – Trusted by thousands of enterprises and developers worldwide – Years of production experience – Every project contributes to funding the Symfony project 4 The Foundation Behind Sulu.cloud -
Global Infrastructure Cloud Providers: – AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM,
and OVHcloud Infrastructure Benefits: – PHP provisioned in one line – Managed services (databases, cache, search, …) on a unified network – Secure & reliable with automatic updates, backups, and optional 99.99% SLA 5 Deploy Anywhere -
Automated Deployment – CI/CD pipelines deploy on every push –
Git-native workflows you already know – Zero-downtime deployments – Automatic build optimisation and dependency caching – Deploy hooks for custom build steps 6 Git Push, Done -
Preview Environments – Create a branch = create an environment
– Full clone with production data in seconds – Test features in isolation – Share URLs with stakeholders for review – Collaborate in parallel — no more waiting for "the staging server" 7 Instant Clones -
Enhanced Security – Automatic security patch updates – Symfony Security
Monitoring integration – Security scans on every push – SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR compliant – The full stack is maintained and monitored 24/7 8 Built-In, Not Bolted On -
Performance – High-IOPs SSD storage – Redis & APC caching
built-in – Varnish for HTTP caching – CDN for global delivery – Blackfire profiling integration – Real-time performance metrics and alerts – Fast by default. Tools to make it faster. 9 Optimised for Symfony & Sulu -
On-Demand Scaling – Scale resources via Console or CLI –
Vertical scaling: more CPU, more RAM – Horizontal scaling: add instances – Pay only for what you use – Traffic spike? Handle it in minutes, not hours. 10 Scale When You Need It -
For Developers – Symfony CLI for local and cloud environments
– Git-based infrastructure as code – Create SSH tunnels to production services locally – View logs in real-time – Switch between projects and environments seamlessly 11 Everything From Your Terminal -
Add Services You Need 15 $ symfony new --skeleton=sulu --upsun
