Do PHP Frameworks Still Make Sense - Let's Go Frameworkless to Focus on the Domain

Explore the evolving role of PHP frameworks and the potential benefits of a frameworkless approach in this 42-minute conference talk from the International PHP Conference. Delve into the challenges faced by development teams as frameworks become bottlenecks in large-scale applications. Learn how to leverage Domain-Driven Design (DDD) concepts to maintain framework utility while improving application architecture. Discover strategic design principles, tactical patterns, and the importance of ubiquitous language in software development. Compare framework-specific implementations using Symfony and Laravel, and gain insights into repository patterns and architectural diagrams. Gain valuable knowledge on balancing framework usage with domain-focused development to create more scalable and maintainable PHP applications.
