CakePHP vs Fat-Free: What are the differences?
Developers describe CakePHP as "The Rapid Development Framework for PHP". CakePHP makes building web applications simpler, faster, while requiring less code. A modern PHP 7 framework offering a flexible database access layer and a powerful scaffolding system. On the other hand, Fat-Free is detailed as "PHP micro-framework designed to help you build dynamic and robust Web applications - fast". Fat-Free Framework makes it easy to build entire Web sites in a jiffy. With the same power and brevity as modern Javascript toolkits and libraries, F3 helps you write better-looking and more reliable PHP programs.
CakePHP and Fat-Free belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
"Open source" is the top reason why over 34 developers like CakePHP, while over 5 developers mention "Open source" as the leading cause for choosing Fat-Free.
CakePHP and Fat-Free are both open source tools. CakePHP with 7.9K GitHub stars and 3.4K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Fat-Free with 2.3K GitHub stars and 443 GitHub forks.
Hi all, I need to create a simple IoT interface application that connects the end device API with a GeoTab API. I am considering using Bubble due to its simple interface and configuration tools, but I fear it's too simple. We will want to add features and new devices as we grow - I was thinking of using CodeIgniter or CakePHP on a hosted site for the application. Must support JCOM encoding between the two APIs and there is no need for a separate interface as GeoTab already has one; we are just connecting and pushing data. Thoughts?

Hi, Which tool will you recommend:
I need to build a web application, oriented to small businesses, like a small ERP. It will have intensive use of Sql to access a PostgreSQL database. It has to be secure, as it will handle information on customers, sales, inventory.
If you think another tool will be better, please let that know.
Thanks a lot
Laravel and Postgres will be the better solutions you can add more like Redis for caching and React/Vue for the frontend.
Check Spring, if security and reliability is needed along with Lots of Database , check Spring Data, spring web, spring security
Laravel works well in this context, you can build a secure and fast ERP using it with postgresql and all Laravel environment like caching, queues, jobs. And for frontend if you need productiviness I would go with Livewire to help
