Bundles are used in reducing the cost of development by reconfigure and reuse the bundles because they are decoupled. It is almost as a plugin. Components are used to add customs modules by their own. There are 30 components that helped in reducing the trouble in architecture and also facilitate the development process.
  2. Used as a Commercial Technology:- It is SensioLabs, Creator of company, Sponsor that maintains the reputation of the company. They also used as an official tutorials and certifications.
