Hey everyone 👋 I built Balero after spending years working with Spring Boot and Java enterprise systems. When moving to PHP, I felt most frameworks were either too unstructured or too “magical”, so I wanted something more explicit and predictable — closer to the architecture I was used to. Balero brings a Spring-style approach to PHP with: Attribute-based routing Dependency Injection DTO-driven development Mock-style testing Zero external dependencies It’s not trying to compete with large enterprise frameworks — the goal is to provide a lightweight and familiar experience for developers coming from Java/Spring, making it easier to build apps quickly with clean structure. It also includes a minimal CMS as a real-world example. I’d really appreciate your feedback, especially from PHP and Java developers 🙌
