Commonly Asked Questions
In short, Lumen is built for micro services and fast REST API’s, not so much for user-facing applications (although it can be used for anything). Lumen has the same foundation as Laravel, and glues together most of the same top components (3rd party and Laravel’s own components). As such, front end niceties like Bootstrap and Elixir and the authentication bootstrap and sessions don’t come enabled out of the box, and there’s less flexibility for extending and changing the bootstrap files. However, unlike many other micro-frameworks, Lumen lets you tap into the full power of Laravel’s features, such as routing, dependency injection, the Eloquent ORM, migrations, queued jobs, and even scheduled commands.
The name “Lumen” is a play on the “Illuminate” components that Laravel utilizes and it also continues the tradition of “light” based names. The Illuminate components are the individual pieces of the Laravel framework such as database, cache, queue, etc.
Lumen is targeted at micro services – small, loosely-coupled components that usually support and enhance a core project, so it’s more likely to be used when you’re separating out a single high-use piece of your application. With Lumen your API will support at least twelve hundred (1200) requests in a range of 10 seconds with 10 simultaneous requests. This great speed makes it the perfect candidate for implementing a RESTful API in it, and the best, it is completely easy!
Lumen is not as configurable as the Laravel framework. The performance improvement is achieved by taking away some of the flexibility of the framework in terms of configuration and amending the default boot process. For example, it is not possible to override any framework “bootstrappers” to drastically alter how the framework is constructed. Also, unlike Laravel, Lumen is not intended to be used with additional Laravel “packages” such as debug bars, CMS systems, etc.
FastCloud provides the tools to easily deploy, manage and scale your Lumen applications in the cloud. It comes hosted on our blazing fast servers, world-class datacenters and network. The Composer, Node.js and Gulp extensions are available to help you build faster with Laravel.
