Axon vs Zend Framework

Zend Framework vs Axon: What are the differences?

Developers describe Zend Framework as "An open source, object-oriented web application framework implemented in PHP 5". It is an open source framework for developing web applications and services using PHP 5.3+. It uses 100% object-oriented code and utilizes most of the new features of namely namespaces, late static binding, lambda functions and closures. On the other hand, Axon is detailed as "Open source framework for event-driven micro-services and domain-driven design". It provides basic building blocks for writing aggregates, commands, queries, events, sagas, command handlers, event handlers, query handlers, repositories, communication buses and so on.

Zend Framework and Axon can be categorized as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

Some of the features offered by Zend Framework are:

• Pure object oriented web application framework
• Advanced MVC implementation
• Supports multi databases including PostgreSQL, SQLite etc

On the other hand, Axon provides the following key features:

• Scalability and Performance
• Auditability and Transparency
• Business Agility

Zend Framework and Axon are both open source tools. It seems that Zend Framework with 5.72K GitHub stars and 2.86K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Axon with 1.79K GitHub stars and 530 GitHub forks.
