The author asks

> I wonder sometimes why more people don’t use Laravel (or similar frameworks in other languages: Rails or Adonis)

these frameworks, and other similar ones, often assume that

1. there is some sort of UI or frontend

2. there is a relational database that the app is connecting to

3. there is some sort of auth, based on usernames and passwords

with the stuff I do at work, these assumptions are almost always incorrect.

(edited grammar)



what kind of stuff do you do at work?


I write firmware for high-power EV chargers. Before that I took part in working a zkVM (cryptography) and before that I ported a PHP web app to Kubernetes; it was written in Laravel.

Web frameworks are excellent for CRUD.

Not everything is CRUD.


"web frameworks are excellent for web development" yes, that is correct.


Yes, but all web frameworks are not excellent for any web development.

For example, highly concurrent multiplayer game servers are "web" but they're not "CRUD".


Parent here, I mostly work on backend web services that connect to other microservices in various ways.
