Hello Experts,
I am in the process of building a SaaS app that will carry transactional data e.g. billing.
Few Questions -
First of all is it good idea to use micro framework? instead of full stack Laravel? Reason I thought it would be better to make it more of API handler. AngularJS will handle routing, template etc.
Can LUMEN support all libraries that are available for LARAVEL e.g. Cashier. Either way I assume I can drop this code to LARAVEL and start using it without any additional efforts.
Last - sorry for asking such a generic question - after trying both LARAVEL+AngularJS combo and MEAN - I somehow felt - code can be rapidly deployed using MEAN rather than LARAVEL+AngularJS. So any suggestions around the same?
No. I dont think lumen or another micro framework is good for a angular frontend. Usually the backend still does a lot of heavy lifting (like events, mailing etc) that lumen is not really designed for in my view.
No. Lumen can not support all libraries and functions that laravel offers. Maybe you can hack it to work, but I think that would punish you more than using a full stack laravel.
