  • adr

    Action-Domain-Responder: a web-specific alternative to Model-View-Controller.

  • Contra /u/dave8271 below, I think it does matter. There are many different ideas about MVC, and as such it's not a very clear vocabulary term, esp. on the server side. The Action Domain Responder pattern exists to help clarify some of those distinctions.

  • laravel-migrations-generator

    Laravel Migrations Generator: Automatically generate your migrations from an existing database schema.

  • If using Laravel there is a great package that will generate them automatically for you from your current database https://github.com/kitloong/laravel-migrations-generator

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Slim

    Slim Framework 4 Skeleton Application

  • I've done similar except I used a micro framework, specifically Slim, then used whatever external dependencies I needed. Much less opinionated so it was easier slowly moving things over.

  • Sylius

    Open Source eCommerce Framework on Symfony

  • Not sure what your needs are but yes I would use a framework and since you mentioned e-commerce I would take a look at this: https://github.com/Sylius/Sylius
