A very simple demo app built as part of my talk on AWS. Powered by Symfony 4. The app is a website for the talk and consists of a homepage and a comment page where users can leave comments. The comments are saved on a mysql database. For a serverless version of this web app check out serverless-webapp.

This web application requires

• PHP >= 7.1.3
• MySQL >= 5.7

• Node.js

As usual, run composer install to install dependecies.

Update the /config/packages/database-config.php accordingly to you database configuration.

Insert you Google Maps API Key in config/services.yaml. If you skip this passage the map in the homepage won't work properly.

For webserver configuration see this page from the Symfony docs. The Symfony deployment guide also is very informative.

I provided a few useful npm script:

• serve: run the development server
• webpack-dev: run Webpack Encore in dev mode
• webpack-prod: run Webpack Encore in production mode
• drop-database, create-database, create-schema: self-explanatory shorthands for doctrine commands
• create-source-bundle: creates a source bundle ready to be uploaded on Elastic Beanstalk
