Symfony Micro Benchmarks

Keep in mind micro benchmarks are useless. The lesson you should learn about these benchmarks is, that a Symfony "Hello World" benchmark results can really depend on the featureset you activate in Symfony.

Running

Just run:

sudo apt-get install git docker python-pip && sudo pip install fig
git clone https://github.com/timglabisch/symfony_performance
sudo fig build
sudo fig run --rm symfonyp composer install --prefer-source --no-interaction
sudo fig run --rm symfonyp composer dump-autoload --optimize
sudo fig run --rm symfonyp app/console generate:bundle
sudo chmod -R 777 symfony/code/app/cache
sudo chmod -R 777 symfony/code/app/logs
sudo fig up
