Lumen

PHP micro-framework from Laravel for building web applications.

Lumen is a PHP micro-framework from Laravel for building web applications. The installation page calls it “a totally separate framework from Laravel”.

Worth knowing

The installation page says new projects are no longer supported with Lumen and recommends beginning them with Laravel. That is a support statement; no page read says Lumen has ended.
