Swift

This is a small and fast PHP framework meant to write APIs or microservices in a fast and easy manner. This is a not meant as a replacement for other frameworks, under the hood it uses a lot of the magic from Symfony, Cycle and GraphQl.

Purpose

This framework is not intended for building websites or big applications. The purpose of this framework is to provide a simple set of basic tools to build microservices, like:

• Simple webservice
• API proxy to bundle several APIs endpoints into one or leverage legacy APIs
• Data caching layer
• REST/GraphQl API endpoint for headless front-ends
• Socket API endpoint for real-time communication
• Server Sent Events for real-time communication
• Logging service
• CDN
• etc.
