Frameworkless – The New Black?
summary
Argues that small services can skip a full framework by composing packages around PSR standards and Composer, demonstrating a 100-line microservice that uses PDO/Doctrine DBAL, laminas Diactoros, PSR-15 middleware, a PSR-11 DI container, Monolog and Flysystem. The tiny app (≈30 files, 50 KB) gives ~15 ms local responses versus Lumen’s 6,000+ files, 31 MB and ~65 ms; a fuller “package-assembled” version grows to ~20 MB and ~35–40 ms. Works for lightweight, internal or microservice needs but requires more developer knowledge and active package maintenance.
