Hello! Since Lumen is faster in API requests. Is it good to combine Lumen and Laravel? Lumen as a back-end and Laravel as a front-end. Possibly, there might be time that the application I am creating will have mobile app version aside from web app version.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hi, well, I think that you will provide some API End Points with Lumen,
and you will fetch them to your Front End Application,
and I bet that you will fetch those end points with JavaScript,
and at this point I don't see any reason to use Laravel.
What you are going to do with Laravel in front end?

@batoy28 Marginally. We’re talking milliseconds. If you’re building your front-end website in Laravel as well I’d just combine the API into the Laravel application.
Splitting the API into a separate Lumen application is just going to complicate development as you now have two applications to maintain, share models between etc.
UNLESS you might build an APP in the future..
