In this short session we will look at one of the Symfony2 components adopted since Drupal 8; the HttpKernelInterface.

We will also see how the Stack PHP project allows us to easily integrate a Drupal 8 site with another codebase that uses the HttpKernelInterface (including Symfony2, Silex, Laravel or even another Drupal 8 project).

We will also explore some of the other functionality that can be added by Stack, all enabled by this powerful abstraction.
