High-Performance
Due to its design and sophisticated application server, Spiral Framework will execute your code up to 10 times faster than Laravel or Symfony without compromising code quality or compatibility with commonly-used libraries.
Secure
Spiral Framework provides all the tools you need to write secure applications with embedded encryption, CSRF protection, cookie anti-tampering, RBAC authorization, token based authentication, validation, and more.
Battle-Tested
10+ years of R&D and design-verification at Spiral Scout has delivered a high-performing framework that already serves dozens of applications on production and drives functionality for millions of users.
Ready to Scale
Scale your application quickly with integrated tools for Queue, GRPC, Event broadcasting and more. The supporting application server includes everything you need to write horizontally-scalable applications.
PSR compatible
Framework implements most of PSR standards. Enjoy the flexibility of using tools you like without worrying about vendor lock or use Spiral components outside of the framework.
Elegant Data Mapping
Spiral Framework communicates with databases using Cycle ORM which helps to create clean domain layers and control your database schemas dynamically.
RAD and IDE-Friendly
Optimized for the best use in a modern IDE, Spiral Framework can be combined with intellectual scaffolding and prototyping to achieve rapid development without sacrificing code quality.
Unlocked Possibilities
Branch out of single stack programming and easily integrate Spiral Framework with any PHP library or extend functionality using Golang. Enhance development by combining a rich business layer with fast concurrent programming.
General Purpose and Modular
Framework does not limit your design capabilities, create MVC, CQRS, Event-Driven, CLI apps. Install only the dependencies you need.
