## What it is
A Symfony bundle that integrates the VarDumper component and MonologBridge's ServerLogCommand into the Symfony full-stack framework. It provides debugging helpers like the dump() function and server-side log tailing for Symfony applications.

## Use cases
- debug variables in Symfony applications
- dump variables during development
- tail server logs from the command line
- integrate VarDumper into Symfony
- inspect application state while developing Symfony apps

## When to choose
- you are building a Symfony full-stack application and want integrated debugging tools
- you need VarDumper's dump() output configured within Symfony's dev environment
- you want to tail application logs via the ServerLogCommand

## When to avoid
- you are not using the Symfony framework
- you need a standalone debugging tool outside of Symfony
- you only need VarDumper without framework integration

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools, logging
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, backend
- platform: php
- tags: symfony, vardumper, debugging, bundle, monolog, web-server
