And it is bound to happen with all the features that laravel comes with, and very few other frameworks even come close to being as feature-rich as Laravel while being more performant. But, I need performance for simple web platforms; Hence I thought of building a framework myself, this could be a fun learning experience and perhaps can also help someone else.</p>\n<p></p><h3>Installation</h3><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://github.com/sameer-manek/kortex#installation\"></a><p></p>\n<p><strong>Dependencies</strong></p>\n<p><em>Local</em></p>\n<ul>\n<li>PHP 8.x</li>\n<li>Swoole</li>\n<li>MySQL</li>\n<li>[optional] Enable Zend OPcache</li>\n</ul>\n<p><em>External</em></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twig (v3.x) - for rendering views.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>once you have the project, just clone this repo, rename it as you will, use <code>data/config.sample.php</code> create a new <code>config.php</code> file in same dir.
