What is the best framework for large and fast projects, laravel and symfony2?

Question

PHP

I understand that there were many such questions. there is very little information about laravel, and I did not find any articles about direct comparison, in relation to my question. Although Western ratings speak in favor of laravel, while ours favors other frames. web studios offer completely different options, including self-writing. I would like to hear the opinions of experienced programmers.
a portal is planned, with elements of social. network, which will constantly change, add and expand modules, redraw the design. it should be designed for a large number of users, up to a million or more, with about 100,000 permanent active users. which one is more flexible and scalable, with good prospects?
thanks to all who answered

Answer 1

You have to choose between laravel and symfony3, not 2. And in general, you need to understand that Laravel is written in Symfony Components and it can be said that Laravel is a "big abstraction" over Symfony, although it has a lot of cool stuff out of the box. Symfony is less monolithic, it is built on bundles and this is very convenient. Symfony is considered more of an enterprise framework that is more suitable for large applications, although Laravel can also be used to create large projects. Both of them have good prospects and practically go hand in hand. The new version of Symfony will have support for the strong typing of scalar types, which was added in PHP 7. And the new version of Laravel now has support for Vue.js out of the box. In short, it's up to you to choose. Here we recently chose between Symfony and Laravel. We chose Symfony mainly because we wanted to try it.

Under heavy loads - the chosen framework will have very little value. Much will depend on the overall architecture, hardware, etc.
You need to choose the framework - for development on which you have specialists and a budget for them.
