FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package sunflower
Sunflower
Sunflower is a super small application kernel that is used to build a dependency injection container. This kernel is useful for microservices and applications that dont use HTTP. Say; reading from a queue or application invoked by AWS Lambda.
With this kernel you can use normal Symfony service definition with auto wiring and all. It even supports Symfony bundles!
The main difference from using symfony/http-kernel and Symfony FrameworkBundle
is that Sunflower does not use symfony/event-dispatcher, symfony/console,
symfony/security, symfony/cache and symfony/router.
Performance
Below is a table of requests per second using a "hello world" application with different frameworks. The exact numbers are not relevant, they depend on the machine the tests was running on. But one should consider how the numbers change between frameworks since all test ran on the same machine.
| Framework | Req/s |
|---|---|
| Sunflower | 2.548 |
| Symfony 6.0 | 1.819 |
| Symfony 5.4 | 1.804 |
| Slim 4 | 1.380 |
| Mezzio 3 | 985 |
| Laravel 8 | 421 |
Using a "hello world" comparison has some drawbacks. It does show performance for small applications with only a few hundreds lines of code, but it does not tell how large applications preform. It also does not give you any indication how fast you can write and maintain your application.
The table above is interesting if you are planning to build a small microservice that are similar to "hello world". Using the Sunflower Kernel is also very interesting if you are familiar with Symfony dependency injections, config and third party bundles.
Install
Use
Use with HTTP
A short example using HTTP and a simple switch-router. This example is using runtime/psr-nyholm.
Use with Bref
To create apps that works with Bref you will need the runtime/bref package. Create microservices, SQS readers or react to S3 events etc.
Use with CLI
History
The Sunflower project was open sourced in 2021. The very first version of the project was created back in 2015. A few private applications was created around the concept of using Symfony's Dependency Injection component but not use the FrameworkBundle or HttpKernel.
The first public version of the project was SuperSlim. That version was a opinionated framework to show what the FrameworkBundle actually did for you behind the scenes. With some more private iterations and many more applications created, we finally removed all unnecessary things and ended up with just the one Kernel.
