Do I need to switch Laravel to Symfony?

Question

I have the same question about my current project.

---

• Project type: Something like shopping cart SDK.
• Models: 30+ (with extensions)
• Extensions: 15+
• Tables: 47
• Relations: every model have 3+ relations
• The most performance demanding part processing: 300ms

  ---

On start, I have 10 models with relations, that's why I choose Laravel as Framework, and I do not think about growing.

Now, I have 40 models with a lot of extensions and Laravel work fine. My project is growing fast. Now It's a big SDK with a lot of tables, relations, and extensions.

I need advice from experienced developers.

Do I need to switch Laravel to Symfony, to reduce future problems with performance?

I would be glad if you can advise me on this.

P.S.: I understand complexity with migration from Laravel to Symfony,

Performance-wise there is no big difference between frameworks. If you are coding right - they are all just the same.

But the problem is in this part "if you are coding right".

You must always think about design, about responsibilities, about service layers, and to be consistent with your approaches.

And for this Symfony is much better. It's just a more convenient framework to go with SOLID. And it makes you think in a right direction.
