Hi,

I would like to share an open source package I’ve created which can help people in getting started easily with the Temporal PHP SDK and the Symfony framework, on Docker.

> Sample Symfony apps to run an API and workers for Temporal workflows

The package will start 3 Symfony apps, each in its own Docker container:

- An activity worker which will execute activity functions only.
- A workflow worker which will execute workflow functions only.
- A workflow API to interact with the workflows: start, query, signal.

The goal is to have a package that can serve as a playground for PHP developers to discover Temporal features, as well as a basis to create Temporal based apps.

I’ve implemented a few examples from the Temporal PHP SDK samples.

Please check the readme for more details.  
Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
