2025 Best PHP Micro Frameworks: Slim, Flight, Fat-Free, Lumen, and More!
Popularity: Lumen’s got 7.6k GitHub stars and a decent following, but its 2024 buzz was quieter than Flight’s meteoric rise. It leans hard on Laravel’s ecosystem, which is great if you’re already in that world, less so if you want something standalone.

Top 12 PHP Frameworks For Web Development in 2024
Lumen is also a micro-framework used for developing PHP-powered web applications with 7.6k stars and 1k forks on GitHub. It is based on the Laravel framework and is specifically designed to build microservices and smaller, lightweight applications. The same team behind Laravel creates it and also shares some of its components. But, It is different from Laravel because it doesn’t offer compatibility with any additional Laravel libraries like Cashier, Passport, Scout, etc.
