Hello Symfony developers,
At MongoDB, we know that Symfony is a cornerstone framework for PHP developers worldwide. Over the years, we've steadily invested in making MongoDB a first-class citizen in the Symfony ecosystem—but this year, we're excited to do even more!
What are we doing?
We’re dedicating increased engineering bandwidth to improve Symfony MongoDB integration. This means allocating more engineering resources to enhance the integration, address pain points, and deliver a delightful developer experience for building modern applications with Symfony and MongoDB.
Why are we doing this?
Symfony developers are an integral part of our community, and we recognize the importance of MongoDB as a flexible, scalable solution for mission-critical applications built with Symfony. While we've supported Symfony for years, we're intensifying our efforts based on the feedback and specific requests from Symfony developers. Their input guides our priorities as we work to address real-world use cases, overcome pain points, and deliver more robust, seamless integration.
What can you expect?
- Dedicated engineering bandwidth: With Symfony core team member Jérôme having joined Jeremy and Andreas two years ago, we've recently hired Pauline to further strengthen our team—putting real talent to work on this!
- Community contribution: We will continue contributing to the Symfony ecosystem, as we did with the latest Routing improvements in Symfony 7.3.
- New features: We're actively working on innovative features, including industry first queryable encryption, to help you build secure, modern PHP applications.
- Continuous improvements: Users can expect documentation improvements, regular maintenance, bug fixes, and performance enhancements.
- Community engagement: Expect to see us at Symfony conferences, through sponsorships and talks, sharing what we’re working on and listening to your feedback.
Thank you for building amazing things with Symfony and MongoDB! We're genuinely excited for what’s ahead. If you have suggestions, requests, or bug reports, please join us in the #doctrine channel on the Symfony Slack, or open an issue on Doctrine MongoDB ODM GitHub.

To make development smoother, try using Symfony’s dependency injection to manage your MongoDB connections—this keeps your services organized and makes unit testing much easier!
