Maravel vs. PHP Frameworks Benchmarks: Breathing Down the Neck of the Microframework Elite

RPS & Memory peak
These are the results for a Hello World benchmark thanks to https://github.com/myaaghubi/PHP... on an old desktop system:
PHP 8.3
New, Faster, Safer Maravel Micro-Framework Router
Maravel-Framework 10.67.0 brings a new, faster and safer Router via Maravel 10.52.48.
It all started after I finished refactoring the deferred service providers to gain boot speed (see history:
Maravel-Framework 10.64.17 brings domain routes restriction to Maravel Micro-Framework,
The Zero-Cost Boot Hack Every Maravel Developer Needs to Know
Maravel 10.52.47 Doubles Lumen s 10 Throughput in PHP 8.3
Maravel 10.52.47 Doubles Lumen’s 10 Throughput in PHP 8.3
Maravel-Framework 10.66.8 enables Maravel Micro-Framework 10.52.47 to obtain with 107% more RPS than Lumen 10 in a Hello world https://github.com/myaaghubi/PHP... benchmark on PHP 8.3.
This result comes after the deferred providers logic in Maravel was improved.
In previous benchmarks, Maravel was with 62% faster than Lumen 10 in PHP 8.1:

The Zero-Cost Boot Hack Every Maravel Developer Needs to Know
I had to configure the mail on Maravel.
The Lumen usual path would had been:
// bootstrap/app.php
$app->configure('mail'); $app->alias('mail.manager', Illuminate\Mail\MailManager::class);
$app->alias('mail.manager', Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\Factory::class); $app->alias('mailer', Illuminate\Mail\Mailer::class);
$app->alias('mailer', Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\Mailer::class);
$app->alias('mailer', Illuminate\Contracts\Mail\MailQueue::class); $app->register(Illuminate\Mail\MailServiceProvider::class);
But this will execute those on each request even if the request will not send any email.
Maravel Micro-Framework 10.32.35 With Built-in CruFd Freemium MaravelQL is Out
Version 10.52.35 of Maravel Micro-Framework is out with built-in cruFd (Create, Read, Update, Filter and Delete).
Forget about implementing filters for each of your resource. MaravelQL handles that for you.
It requires the latest Maravel-Framework 10.65 and the laravel-crud-wizard-free lib suite composed of:
laravel-crud-wizard-free
laravel-crud-wizard-decorator-free
laravel-crud-wizard-generator
Segregated Relations Maravel-Framework 10.65
Now you can define your relations like this, in one place in your model:
// model protected function segregatedRelationsDefinitionMap(): array { return [ 'relName' => fn(): HasOne => $this->hasOne(Model::class, 'model_id', 'id'), // Reuse the segregatedrelation inside another segregated relation: 'relNameScoped' => fn(): HasOne => $this->relName()->where('col', '=', 'text'), 'relNameScoped2' => fn(): HasOne => $this->callSegregatedRelation('relName')->where('col', '=', 'text'), // Reuse the method relation: 'relNameAsMethod' => $this->relNameAsMethod(...), 'relNameAsMethod' => fn(): HasOne => $this->relNameAsMethod(), // AVOID THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT Closure and it will not work: 'relNameAsMethod' => [$this, 'relNameAsMethod'], // AVOID THIS 'relNameAsMethod' => fn(): HasOne => [$this, 'relNameAsMethod'](), // DO NOT USE IT LIKE THIS!: 'relNameAsMethod' => fn(): HasOne => $this->relNameAsMethod(...)(), // executes the relation inside the map. ]; }And get the whole list by calling segregatedRelationList:
/** * Get the list of all currently identified relationship keys. * * This list includes: * 1. Explicitly defined relations from * @see segregatedRelationsDefinitionMap() * 2. Implicit method-based relations that have been "promoted" to the global * static map via @see resolveSegregatedRelationClosure() * * @param bool $discoverMethods If true, performs a one-time SLOW REFLECTION scan to identify and * promote all typed relationship methods to the global map. * * @note This list is usage-dependent when $discoverMethods is false. If true, the static * map is force-populated for the remainder of the request lifecycle. * THE FASTEST WAY for execution is to refactor all method relations by moving them into that map or * manually promote all method relations to segregated relations via: * @see segregatedRelationsDefinitionMap() * return [ * 'relNameAsMethod' => $this->relNameAsMethod(...) * ] * * @return string[] */
final public function segregatedRelationList(bool $discoverMethods = false): array
{ if ($discoverMethods) { $this->promoteMethodRelationsToSegregatedRelations(); } return \array_keys($this->thisSegregatedRelationDefinitionMap());
}RFC Segregate Eloquent Relation Definition Maravel-Framework 10.65
Challenged by this discussion which proposes PHP attributes for the relation definition to avoid the method definition issues that arise for identifying if a method is relation or not in an active record, after this PR you can segregate the relation definition from the model s methods without using Reflection.

Maravel-Framework 10.64.17 brings domain routes restriction to Maravel Micro-Framework
This was the missing piece after version 10.64.14 of Maravel-Framework brought full view support to Maravel, including view:cache, session (CSRF), cookie and FormRequest.
domain keyword can be used as single valid url or as list of valid urls.
The global helper function route( alias ) will return full URLs instead of URIs.
Maravel-Framework 10.64.14 Boosts Maravelith API RPS UP 90% And Memory Down 3%
Maravelith API vs WEB RPS increased by 90% and memory decreased by 3% after I converted View, Cookie and Session service providers into deferred providers in version 10.64.14 of Maravel-Framework that also brought full view support to Maravel as well, including view:cache, session (CSRF), cookie and FormRequest.
As mentioned here, it is not fair to compare Maravelith WEB with Maravel API or Laravel WEB with Lumen API routes. Analog for any php micro-framework that is compared with full framework. Comparisons should be done on API vs API because the session middleware brings an important slow down on the web routes.
Maravel-Framework 10.64.8 Brings Session and Cookie support to Maravel
After version 10.64 introduced the FormRequest to Maravel, version 10.64.8 brings Session and Cookies support also as OPT IN.
The reason for this feature is that you might need to use csrf tokens and/or cookies in your views WITHOUT migrating to Maravelith and trading boot speed just for that.
