Migrating from FOSUserBundle to Symfony Security Bundle (with ResetPasswordBundle & VerifyEmailBundle)
If you’re still using FOSUserBundle in your Symfony project, it’s time to upgrade. FOSUserBundle was once the standard solution for user authentication and management in Symfony, but it is now deprecated and unsupported in Symfony 6 and beyond.
The good news? Symfony’s modern security system, combined with official bundles like ResetPasswordBundle and VerifyEmailBundle, provides a more powerful, flexible, and future-proof way to manage user authentication.
Build Symfony REST API with OpenAPI and Swagger UI Integration
This guide shows you how to build your first REST API endpoint (/api/users/{id}) in Symfony 7.2, document it with OpenAPI YAML, and integrate Swagger UI for interactive testing.

Building Secure Video Streaming with Signed URLs
Video streaming platforms, like an OTT video platform I’ve recently worked on, need to ensure that content is accessible only to authorised users. Without proper security, videos can be easily accessed or shared, leading to revenue loss or piracy. One effective way to secure video streaming is by using signed URLs, a method I implemented on this project using Symfony and Bunny CDN. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how I built this solution and share some best practices I learned along the way.
