## What it is
The Yii 2 Advanced Application Template is an official skeleton project for building complex Yii 2 web applications with multiple tiers (frontend, backend, and console). It is installed via Composer and is designed for team development with support for deploying across different environments.

## Use cases
- start a new yii2 web application
- scaffold a multi-tier php web app with admin backend
- set up a yii2 project with frontend and backend separation
- bootstrap a team-friendly yii2 codebase with environment configs
- create a console and web application skeleton in php

## When to choose
- you are starting a complex Yii 2 application that needs separate frontend and backend tiers
- you want an official, maintained Yii 2 starting point with Docker support
- your team needs a shared project structure with environment-based deployment

## When to avoid
- you are building a simple single-tier site where the basic template suffices
- you are not using the Yii framework or PHP
- you need a framework newer than Yii 2, such as Yii 3

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource

- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
