Kinsta automatically installs dependencies defined in your composer.json file, during the deployment process.

Kinsta automatically sets the PORT environment variable. You should not define it yourself and you should not hard-code it into the application.

When deploying an application, Kinsta automatically creates a web process running heroku-php-apache2.

Whenever a deployment is initiated (through creating an application or re-deploying due to an incoming commit) the composer install command is run.
