Environment Type-Based Application Configuration

Use different default configurations based on the environment where the application is deployed:

• Production Environment
• Development Environment
• Testing Environment
• Staging Environment
• Local Development Machine
• etc.

Deployment type (deployment_type) is one of the options in parameters.yml file, and it is asked during composer install.

config/parameters.yml

   parameters:
       # ...
       deployment_type: null

To start using deployment type, change value deployment_type: <type> in config/parameters.yml and create a config file in config/deployment/config_<type>.yml.

This configuration will have the highest priority.

For example:

config/parameters.yml

       parameters:
           # ...
           deployment_type: local

config/deployment/config_local.yml

       monolog:
           handlers:
               # your additional monolog configuration
