Enterprise PHP. The Road to Production: Building, Testing, and Deploying a Production-Grade Application with PHP

PHP Enterprise is a comprehensive guide for working PHP developers who want to bridge the gap between writing functional code and engineering robust systems that survive in production. Moving beyond basic tutorials and framework-specific manuals, this book teaches you how to build a production-grade application from scratch-deliberately without a framework-so you can understand the abstractions that power tools like Laravel and Symfony.Across 43 hands-on chapters, you will build an enterprise-grade blog platform from an empty directory to a fully automated service deployed on AWS EKS. You will master strict separation of concerns, build your own dependency injection container and migration runner, and implement a typed HTTP layer using PSR standards.Beyond writing the code, the book dives deep into quality assurance and operability. You will enforce coding standards, achieve level 8 static analysis with PHPStan, write a full test pyramid (unit, integration, and Playwright end-to-end tests), and set up robust caching and sessions with Redis. Finally, you will containerize the application with Docker, build an automated CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions, and deploy to Kubernetes (AWS EKS) using Helm, complete with autoscaling, smoke tests, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
