Challenge

The Bitdefender team faced several challenges during the implementation of their online shop, which led to the initiation of this project. A key obstacle was the planned migration to the Symfony framework, which required in-depth training to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, the team needed guidance on developing enterprise-level applications, focusing on best practices, design patterns, and strategic architecture. Performance concerns also arose, particularly around database optimization, prompting a search for effective techniques to enhance system efficiency.

Solution

To address these challenges, the Dreamlabs team conducted a series of on-site training sessions tailored to the Bitdefender engineering team, each focused on specific topics. The program was both systematic and adaptable, with content customized to match the team's experience and learning pace. Delivered through an iterative approach, the training was organized into four key modules: Symfony and Scalable Architecture, Developing API Interfaces in Symfony, Automated Testing and Industry Standards, and Scalable Applications and Symfony. A dedicated "Clarification Session" was also included to address outstanding questions. This approach ensured structured support for the Symfony transition while offering a complete and responsive learning experience.
