Bootgly

The native, zero-dependency PHP framework.
One async core for Web 🌐 and CLI 📟 — built for performance and clarity.

Bootgly is a base framework for building APIs and apps on both the Web (WPI) and Console (CLI) platforms — powered by a native, event-loop HTTP server written in pure PHP. It is the first PHP framework built on the I2P (Interface-to-Platform) architecture.

Why Bootgly?

⚡ Native async HTTP server in pure PHP — long-running and event-loop driven, with Fibers for non-blocking I/O. No Nginx, no PHP-FPM in front. A pure-PHP alternative to Swoole, Workerman and FrankenPHP — no C extension required. AutoTLS with ACME v2.
📦 Zero third-party dependencies in the core — every essential feature (HTTP server, router, config, testing, sessions, DBAL + ORM) is built in. A smaller vendor/ and a smaller supply-chain surface.
🎯 One canonical way to do everything — one HTTP server, one config schema, one test framework. Predictable, consistent code: fewer decisions, less to maintain, no bikeshedding.
🧱 Strict, enforceable architecture — six layers (ABI → ACI → ADI → API → CLI → WPI) with one-way dependencies and no cross-layer skipping. One core, two platforms.

⚡ Quickstart

Install Bootgly and create your first project with one command — the installer opens the project wizard:

bash
        curl -fsSL https://bootgly.com/install | bash

⚡ Over 1,000,000 req/s — in pure PHP. On the TechEmpower /plaintext route, the HTTP Server CLI peaks at 1,076,709 req/s — ahead of Swoole (964,908) and roughly 150× a Laravel + PHP-FPM stack — with no C extension and no third-party runtime in its core. It leads Swoole on /plaintext, /json, /query (+126%) and /updates (+60%), and beats every other PHP framework benchmarked on every route.
Measured on 24 logical CPUs, PHP 8.4.22, 514 connections, 10 s per route, symmetric DB pool. → Full comparison & reproducible runs: Bootgly vs Swoole, Hyperf, ReactPHP, AMPHP & Laravel

Note
Beta — stabilizing toward 1.0. Bootgly is under active development and the public API is still being finalized ahead of the 1.0 release. Pin a version and expect some changes before then; not yet recommended for production use. Documentation is a work in progress.

🚀 Getting started

📦 Install (one command)

The canonical way to start: the installer clones the bootgly.kit starter template, initializes the Bootgly platform and opens the project wizard:

bash
        curl -fsSL https://bootgly.com/install | bash

Create more projects anytime — from scratch or importing a platform project (like the Demos):

bash

        php bootgly project create

Or import any Project from Platforms or git repository carrying the Bootgly project signature (a *.project.php file at its root):

bash

        php bootgly project import

📟 Bootgly CLI

🌐 Bootgly WPI
