@topvillas Not really sure what benefit that would have? The framework’s built modularly, but then why take the components and re-write all the “glue” again yourself?
I'm not all that sure either, it's just something I'm throwing in the air!
But suppose somebody wanted to completely separate the domain, service, infrastructure and presentation layers? It might be the way to go. Gluing everything together again in a way that's appropriate for an app in a much more specific way.
Ive used database, but from what I've seen, if you start needing too many Illuminate things, like pagination also, and others, you get to a point where you have 95% of laravel anyway. So may as well just use laravel.
When I used db, it was for query builder, but I used skip take and used a different paginator.
