Host storefront with Symfony: public product media

Summary

Deploy a storefront built with Symfony on Ample using the public media library pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL, a private S3-compatible bucket holds objects with credentials delivered as encrypted environment variables, and a published bucket serves public assets from the CDN host.

Verified on Symfony: an object written to a published bucket with an immutable Cache-Control header, a mapping row, and the CDN URL serving it publicly. Not separately tested: your media processing, object layout and cache policy; treat the storefront-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host storefront with Symfony: public product media
• Where can I host Storefront built with Symfony?
• I need product-to-object mappings and a tested public media delivery path.

Resource Requirements

• Compute
• PostgreSQL
• S3-compatible object storage
• CDN

Infrastructure Requirements

Compute

• Status: verified
• Summary: Apps run in isolated x86_64 Firecracker microVMs that auto-pause when idle and wake on request; sizes are the priced VM sizes.

PostgreSQL

• Status: verified
• Summary: Managed PostgreSQL 16 runs in its own microVM and is auto-provisioned when an app needs a database and no DATABASE_URL is supplied.

S3-compatible object storage

• Status: verified
• Summary: Buckets are S3-compatible with issued credentials; PutObject and GetObject are verified by canary. Other S3 operations are not verified.

CDN

• Status: verified
• Summary: The CDN host serves objects from published buckets. It does not front app compute and is not a cache or key-value store.

Prerequisites

• A Symfony project that builds and starts with the documented commands (composer install --no-dev from composer.lock with Symfony Runtime's dotenv disabled).
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime.
• A bucket created with credentials passed as encrypted environment variables and a second, published bucket for public assets.
• An Ample account token with necessary permissions.

Workflow Steps

1. Build and start: composer install --no-dev from composer.lock with Symfony Runtime's dotenv disabled.
2. Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL: Copy the approach into your schema; keep migrations idempotent.
3. Wire object storage: Create the bucket(s) and pass required parameters as --env values.
4. Deploy: Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result.
5. Verify: Fetch the live URL and sample your own checks.

Success Checks

• App responds on its public URL
• Public-media-library self-test

Limitations

• Verified on php-8.5 template; other sizes and versions are not.
• Region and compliance attestations are unknown.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 10.00
• Basis: size prices from pricing.toml (loaded by the API).

Components

• App server (size: s-1vcpu-1gb) - $5.00
• Managed PostgreSQL database (size: s-1vcpu-1gb) - $5.00
