statamic VS sulu

After some research if decided to give PHP and the Laravel framework a try. I stumbled up https://statamic.dev and this looks extremely promising!

If you like Laravel you'll want to look at Statamic.

Beside Symfony there is Laravel Framework , I will not go into deep difference between this frameworks as it really is just taste of what your team likes more (active record vs datamapper, facade/helpers vs dependency injection, blade vs twig, ...), as already mention above this kind of CMS make sense if Website is just one part of your application and you have to build more then just a simple digital business card / website. In Laravel world there are CMS like October CMS / Winter CMS, which target the same providing a CMS based on the Full Stack Larave framework and give you all features of that framework. Another already mention CMS in Laravel world is Statmatic.

https://sulu.io/ or https://kunstmaancms.be/ if you want to stay with symfony. Both solid options

I want to try Sulu first because it is Symfony-based.

Another usecase are Framework based CMS System. Beside Drupal, Typo3 using example Symfony components, still are not Full Stack Symfony and don't use Symfony based folder structure and are so very different then using Symfony Full Stack based CMS. In this area other CMS like Sulu, Bolt, .. are placed which do not hide Symfony Full Stack and are more for the web applications which are not typical just a Website but has application based component in it which can be build with the Symfony components and ecosystem. This CMS are also mostly more version control friendly as most configurations are inside Code and not inside Database and the CMS admin concentrate on Content Management and configure the System itself. Another CMS which is more and more migrating Full Stack Symfony is Contao CMS, which definitly should not be forgotten.

Try something on Symfony. For example https://github.com/sulu/sulu. It's a CMS, but I've noticed that it has some domain-driven design principles implemented.

While I was working on Sulu CMS and did invest a lot about prototypes around Hexagonal Architecture. I did miss something specific in the PHP-Fig interfaces, a Interface for Template engines.
