Just a bit more than 5 years ago Docker, a containerization project, was launched. The developers happily moved their applications running on a VM to Docker containers and felt happier even despite the bugs they ran into. However, a year later Kubernetes was created and became a key part of the container revolution. It grounded on the 15 years of Google experience and was crafted by Google expert team. It made not only the app development easier, but offers more flexibility and opportunities for scaling to the projects.

In PhpStorm, there is a possibility to create Run/Debug Configurations and to run them from IDE. It allows the project participants to share common configurations using a ‘Shared’ flag in the settings. One of such operations is running unit tests in the course of development. Let’s discuss how to fine-tune this process by means of Docker.

There are situations when Symfony needs routing based on subdomains. For example, when we deal with various functional clusters within one project or one repository. Let’s say, when, apart from API, there is an administrative part written in Symfony bundles or some functionality for public access urls from the client-side.
