The cycle is dominated by a forced CKEditor 48 upgrade across both branches, while 3.0.7 continues polishing the new content architecture, Smart Content, and permission systems.http://sulu.io/blog/sulu-releases-2-6-24-and-3-0-7019e2139-f0c8-76e4-ba21-ef7863563c45Tue, 19 May 2026 12:05:05 +0000How many people does it take to build an open-source CMS that enterprise customers run in production?It sounds like a trick question. Most people I ask guess 20, 30, sometimes 50. The answer: there are six of us. Six developers (Thomas, Alex, Martin, Daniel, Patrick, and me) running multiple large-scale projects in parallel, embedded as experts in external agency teams, and building services like Sulu.ai and Sulu.cloud on top.This article has been in my head for a long time. What finally pushed me to write it down was a German-language video by M. Bauhuber on YouTube about coding agents and the cognitive debt they're producing across the industry. Watching it, I kept nodding along — not because the analysis was new to me, but because someone had finally put words to what I'd been thinking about for months. So credit where it's due: the framing in this piece owes a lot to that video. The lived experience behind it is ours.It's also why I think we're unusually well positioned for what's coming with coding agents, and why the way small teams operate is worth a closer look right now — even for teams structured very differently today.http://sulu.io/blog/why-six-people-are-enough-and-what-it-has-to-do-with-coding-agents019df315-97df-7944-8fb2-51d29234ccd8Thu, 07 May 2026 13:02:51 +0000We run sulu.io on Sulu in production — so upgrading to Sulu 3.0 gave us a chance to see what actually works, what doesn’t, and what changes in practice.Sulu 3.0 is the most significant architectural change we’ve made in years. PHPCR content storage is gone, replaced by Doctrine ORM. The ArticleBundle, SnippetBundle, PageBundle, and RouteBundle have moved to new hexagonal-architecture namespaces. MassiveSearchBundle is out, replaced by SEAL. So it was time to upgrade our own site and see how this plays out in a real-world project.This isn’t a polished success story. It’s a look at what upgrading a production system actually involves including the issues we ran into, what we fixed along the way, and what worked better than expected.If you’re planning a migration, this is less about following a checklist and more about understanding what changes with Sulu 3.0 and what that means for how you build and evolve your project going forward. Initial setup:If you want to follow along or apply the same approach to your own project, you'll need:A Sulu 2.6 project (fully patched to the latest 2.6.x)PHP 8.2+Symfony 7.xA local environment that can run two Sulu installations side by sideAccess to your production database and Jackrabbit workspacehttp://sulu.io/blog/how-we-upgraded-sulu-io-to-sulu-3-0-and-what-we-found019dd8fe-1b85-7515-ad48-06270ddf73bcWed, 06 May 2026 11:27:05 +0000Sulu is evolving — not in what it stands for, but in how it's built and sustained.Open source remains at the core. That hasn't changed. What's evolving is how we build a sustainable business around it.Over the years, our service-driven work has shaped Sulu into a system capable of handling complex content models, custom business logic, and long-term platform requirements. At the same time, the limits of a service-driven model have become visible. Services don't scale the way products do — and that makes it harder to invest consistently in the platform's long-term evolution.So our direction is clear: we're evolving Sulu beyond a CMS — toward a broader platform approach around structured content, assets, and workflows. The harder question is how we get there, especially in increasingly complex, enterprise-driven environments.http://sulu.io/blog/strengthening-sulu-s-next-phase-eric-meurers-joins-our-advisory-board019ddece-0b1b-7cff-916f-4bed46167974Tue, 05 May 2026 09:00:00 +0000We’ve just published new patch releases for Sulu: Sulu 2.6.23 and Sulu 3.0.6. These releases focus on stability, compatibility and ongoing modernization. Sulu 3.0.6 also includes several fixes around the new content, routing and navigation layers introduced with Sulu 3.http://sulu.io/blog/sulu-releases-2-6-23-and-3-0-6019df2f0-d85a-7b90-bd75-8b908d78eeaeMon, 04 May 2026 12:22:43 +0000Two weeks ago I stood on stage at SymfonyLive Berlin and introduced Symfony Mate to the community. It was two intense days of conversations. About Mate. About Sulu. About AI. And about everything that ties those three together.I’ll be honest. I was a bit nervous walking on stage. There had already been a lot of strong talks. I opened with a short story about my kids — and a small jump. Not quite the dancing that was jokingly suggested the night before, but close enough. It broke the tension, got everyone’s attention — and from that moment on, I could just enjoy the talk.The feedback afterwards was more than I had hoped for. In the hallway. During dinner. In the late-night conversations. Thank you. This post is my attempt to share the talk itself and what happened around it.http://sulu.io/blog/giving-ai-assistants-eyes-reflecting-on-my-symfony-mate-talk-at-symfonylive-berlin019db062-4967-7526-8752-9b13e7610a0dWed, 22 Apr 2026 14:12:04 +0000We are happy to announce a new update to Sulu.ai, covering improvements across both the Sulu.ai bundle (Release 0.5.0) and the platform.This release focuses on one core theme: bringing more structure and context into AI workflows. From metadata profiles to improved translation and writing assistance, these updates make it easier to operate Sulu.ai in real-world, multi-project, and multi-brand environments.Instead of adding "more AI," we're making AI more usable, predictable, and aligned with how Sulu projects are actually built.http://sulu.io/blog/sulu-ai-update-metadata-profilese9a69f90-afab-4195-9bc7-fa8fac548b4cFri, 27 Mar 2026 15:04:56 +0000We’ve just published new patch releases for Sulu: Sulu 2.6.22 and Sulu 3.0.5. These updates provide security fixes, some bug fixes and a lot of improvements.http://sulu.io/blog/sulu-releases-2-6-22-and-3-0-5b050b3dc-0597-4541-aab5-720d1447b151Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:03:35 +0000Every second a page takes to load, someone leaves. It doesn't matter whether you're running a regional agency site or an international content platform — slow is slow, and users don't wait. Google doesn't either. For agencies and development teams building with Sulu, this is a real constraint. Projects grow, traffic becomes unpredictable, content editors need their changes live immediately, and security threats don't take weekends off. Managing all of this at the infrastructure level takes time, expertise, and ongoing investment that most project budgets don't have room for.Fastly's Fast Forward program supports open source projects with free and discounted access to Fastly's infrastructure. Sulu has joined that program — which means these challenges become significantly easier to solve for everyone building on Sulu.http://sulu.io/blog/sulu-joins-the-fastly-fast-forward-program998631ec-5a42-477e-aff0-db32152b96e4Wed, 18 Mar 2026 12:54:34 +0000We’ve just released a major update to Sulu.ai, including a new version of the Sulu.ai bundle and several improvements to the Sulu.ai platform.The bundle update introduces a new Symfony AI foundation, Sulu 3 compatibility, agent and embedding support, and several configuration improvements. In parallel, we’ve also rolled out platform improvements that are already available for all Sulu.ai users.Together, these changes make it easier for developers to integrate AI capabilities directly into their Sulu projects and prepare the platform for more advanced AI use cases.http://sulu.io/blog/a-major-update-for-sulu-ai9bcd9c2f-1c2d-4c83-8a9e-0d1144cd4790Wed, 18 Feb 2026 12:38:02 +0000We’re delighted to announce the launch of Sulu.cloud, the official managed hosting platform for Sulu CMS.If you’ve worked on web projects, you probably know the story: A developer estimates three weeks for a feature, then spends two of those weeks wrestling with deployment scripts, tracking down environment inconsistencies, and applying security patches. The actual feature development happens in whatever time is left over.Agencies face this overhead constantly. You need reliable hosting that doesn’t require a dedicated DevOps team, stays secure without constant maintenance, and scales when traffic spikes. Your developers should be building features, not babysitting servers.Sulu.cloud addresses exactly this problem. It’s hosting designed specifically for how Sulu developers work, removing the infrastructure burden so you can focus on actual project work.Sign up for your free Sulu.cloud trial.http://sulu.io/blog/introducing-sulu-cloud-managed-hosting-built-for-sulu-cms7acccbc5-24bd-43c6-9be7-f56c3ac96c8fThu, 12 Feb 2026 18:31:10 +0000Another round of releases is here, bringing a substantial set of improvements and fixes across Sulu 2.6.21 and Sulu 3.0.4. Alongside these, we've published release candidates for several Sulu bundles, including Form, Automation, Headless, Theme, and Redirect.http://sulu.io/blog/sulu-2-6-21-3-0-4-and-bundle-3-0-rc-releases
