Summary


In this chapter, we covered the basics of debugging and deploying our application. We covered how to set up logging and benchmarking and how to debug our application with the yii2-debug extension while also detailing general guidelines and a few tools we can use to deploy our applications to production.

As you may expect, there's more to Yii2 than what is covered in this book. When developing Yii2 applications, remember that the Yii2 API documentation located at http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/ provides excellent class reference documentation along with superb documentation on how to use many of the classes. Having reached the end of the book, you should feel confident in your knowledge and mastery of Yii2, and you should feel ready to take on any project with Yii2.
