Lumen Support

Hello,

I'm quite new to coding, but I'm working as a junior BE dev, mainly using a highly edited Lumen framework daily.

I personally really like Lumen since it seems to be cleaner then Laravel because I use only what I need and I don't like all the included stuff out of the box(I do understand that it this is just me and some people enjoy that), however today I heard a comment from one of my colleagues that Lumen is dead or dying. We didn't discuss this much, but the main argument was - it quite far behind Laravel and basically isn't getting support anymore.

What do people here think about this?

@reinisk22 Go with Lumen if speed is a great concern, such as a high-traffic API. If you find yourself needing a component that has been stripped out, you can always selectively install the packages via composer.

If your server doesn't have a large workload, or speed is not a concern, go with Laravel.
