Today, an introduction blog post to Panther was published on the Symfony blog! Panther is a new browser testing and web scraping library I contributed to the Symfony project, In the blog post, I showcase how to use Symfony, API Platform and VueJS together to create a small but modern app, and how to test. If you use Symfony 4/5, there is a great Symfony bundle for Prometheus. Metrics are stored either in apcu or in Redis. The README has everything you need to set it up, I’ll just provide a simple example. After enabling the bundle via flex or using README, add collector registry as a dependency.
