Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Composer, and its indexes, packagist.org, and packagist.com (the entreprise edition of packagist.org) extensively to manage our reusable PHP modules and dependencies inside the company.

Most of our PHP projects contain only a composer.json file, which will reference external modules indexed inside Packagist, and composer is then used to fetch these dependencies at build, using the command line "composer install"

Pros

Dependencies management and their lifecycles
Composer command line is very flexible and easy to use
Branch and Tags for release management of the dependencies

Cons

Sometimes a bit slow, but v2 made a lot of improvements on that
If everything is modular, setting up a local dev environment is a bit trickier than having everything in the same repo
Might be hard to adopt with some frameworks which have not fully embraced it, like Wordpress

Likelihood to Recommend

I do highly recommend it whenever you have some PHP projects, especially if you need to have reusable modules that you want to share across teams. With a good branching an tagging strategy, you can go a long way in making your developers' life easier. They will only need to work on the modules that are of interest of them, and not have to touch the whole codebase.

Also, it's quite necessary if you are planning to use community PHP modules, as the vast majority of them is distributed, and versionned via packagist.org, and thus via composer.
