Lumen vs TypeORM: What are the differences?

What is Lumen? The stunningly fast PHP micro-framework by Laravel. Laravel Lumen is a stunningly fast PHP micro-framework for building web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Lumen attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as routing, database abstraction, queueing, and caching.

What is TypeORM? An ORM that can run in NodeJS and others. It supports both Active Record and Data Mapper patterns, unlike all other JavaScript ORMs currently in existence, which means you can write high quality, loosely coupled, scalable, maintainable applications the most productive way.

Lumen and TypeORM belong to "Microframeworks (Backend)" category of the tech stack.

Lumen and TypeORM are both open source tools. TypeORM with 14.4K GitHub stars and 1.85K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Lumen with 6.35K GitHub stars and 840 GitHub forks.
