    Yii 2: The Fast, Secure and Professional PHP Framework

  • I recently read a blog article explaining why you should not use Laravel, and I decided to try other frameworks. I've been tinkering with Yii 2.0 for a couple of days and I find it much better. It is lighter, faster and does not enforce styles as Laravel.

  • router

    A lightweight and simple object oriented PHP Router (by bramus)

  • I just use a router like Bramus together with a PDO wrapper and my views are just old-school PHP templates (no Twig/Blade/Smarty). For logging check out monolog.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
