## Notes

Sulu is a content management system and digital experience platform built on Symfony and written in PHP. Content is kept in a database, and pages render on the server with Twig. The same content is also served through REST and JSON:API, so one installation can run traditional rendering, headless delivery or both. Multiple sites and languages are supported.

A project is created with `composer create-project sulu/skeleton` and runs behind a web server such as Nginx or Apache. The [deployment guide](https://docs.sulu.io/3.x/book/deployment.html) walks through a first deployment with Git and SSH.

## Worth knowing

Sulu GmbH, which publishes the software, also offers Sulu.cloud, a hosted version on SymfonyCloud, and names a separate product, Sulu.ai, on the [project homepage](https://sulu.io).
