The **Database Timezone** bundle contains method to save dates and datetimes values/objects always in the same (custom) timezone in database. This results in an easier datetime/date handling when accessing database values directly or via PHP.

Quick example usage:

Always save dates/times in **UTC** timezone in database. Change the configuration of `/config/packages/database_timezone.yaml` to:

```
database_timezone:
  database: UTC
```
