Hey guys,
I'm started to build a web app with vue js and vuex, laravel for the backend api.
I should worry about the backend for the future or laravel is good enough, I mean I'm using laravel just for the api and authentication.. maybe I need switch to lumen?
Laravel seems overkill for what I need to do.. and I want fast responses from the backend.
Probably not that much difference in speed. A while back another forum member had a similar question, they went with laravel and disabled some of the not needed things in laravel.
Sorry, I didn't save the link to that post. But my feelings is if it's working, you can't go wrong with laravel.
Edit: As a side note, speed is not always the same. I have the netflix app, and sometimes it's fast, other times slower loading. Speed sometimes will depend on current usage. Friday night a lot of people are using netflix to stream, thus may be a little slower.
Lumen was built for this purpose, however i heard Taylor Otwell say that with upcoming advancements in PHP 7.4 Laravel might be just as fast as Lumen is and there might not be a need.
I also saw a Laracon 2018 talk where they discussed pro's and cons of Laravel vs Lumen, sounds like Laravel is way to go long-term.
