Why Doctrine ORM is not suited for PHP
- paulhauggis 11y agoI've never understood the fascination with Doctrine+Symphony. I've had the displeasure of working on 2 big projects with this combination and it was bloated and took up tons of memory+CPU. You also basically need to learn a second doctrinized version of SQL on top of SQL (which is supposed to make things easier somehow). One reason might be because hardware is cheaper than developers, which is why it's called an "enterprise" framework. I much prefer smaller frameworks like Codeigniter. It still creates a nice base for you to work off of, but with a much, smaller, footprint.
- lucascorbeaux 11y agoI think both Symfony and Doctrine have one big asset: the ability to deliver many similar projects quickly. And without great software engineering skills. For companies that bring much more new projects than maintaining existing ones, it could be a good things. But I'm still thinking it's something you pay one day or another.
