Hey there DEV.to community!
Recently I was working on a personal project and a commercial one. Since I had some basic knowledge about Laravel and ...

Laravel architecture is monolithic, resource-hungry and does not scale well, while Phalcon has a reasonably good documentation and can be fused with Swoole PHP (Asynchrnous PHP Extension that allows its own HTTP server). If you like you can use parts of Laravel with Phalcon (if you are easy with Laravel, and want speed in some parts)
Selling Laravel only because it has more documentation material is not wisdom that one should expect from Software Engineers. As a software engineer you should rate a technology better based on its Engine and Non-functional Quality Attributes (Good Documentation is important but not the first and only thing to look at).
Laravel Eloquent implements Active Record pattern which makes data access slow for larger applications.
Hi
Thanks for your comment
I will try better next time I compare things
Thanks for the suggestion
Excelente enfoque visto desde el programador, pero no así desde el consumidor, el que va pagar por nuestros desarrollos, prefiero Phalcon por la RAPIDEZ de los sitios eso se traduce en $$. y lo explico:
MacDonalds el factor diferenciador que lo llevo al exito fue sabor y RAPIDEZ hacia el consumidor.
Domino´s Pizza el factor diferenciador que lo llevo al éxito fue RAPIDEZ hacia el consumidor.
Facebook es RAPIDO y en tiempo Real.
Whatsapp RAPIDO y en tiempo Real.
El usuario o consumidor antes que cualquier otra característica busca RAPIDEZ, TIEMPO REAL, incluso pasa con tu novia, que pasa cuando la esperas?? Laravel es la novia que se tarda en salir, si muy bonita, se puso su maquillaje(todas las cuestiones que acabas de explicar, despliegue, Middleware, etc) al final la novia se tardo.
Cuando desarrollamos pensamos siempre como programadores, o en función de nuestra capacidad, pero raramente pensamos como USUARIOS, como la GENTE QUE CONSUME en nuestros SITIOS, POR ESO ES IMPORTANTE la gente de Marketing. por eso PREFIERO PHALCON,

Great work. Thanks for your post.
The only point I believe could give one more point to Phalcon, is on "deployment". Using Phalcon in Docker containers, is pretty easy to deploy to production. What do you think?
Hi
Yes for sure using Docker would be easy. But anyhow that is still some extra work to be done and it is not possible on shared hostings I believe.
You are right. On shared hosting it is hard to do. Personally, I didn't find any Service Provider that supports Phalcon.
Believe me it kinda impossible to find one. LOL
I am hoster and i do.
phalcon 3.4 with php 5.6 and php 7.2
and
phalcon 4 with php 7.4
if you need shared hosting with phalcon i can help
I think Laravel is user-friendly due to its features and is more popular for building websites. Whereas Phalcon is a high-performance PHP framework that focuses on speed and efficiency. Unlike traditional PHP frameworks that are written in PHP, Phalcon is implemented as a C extension for PHP.
Great article, thanks for sharing!
I found Phalcon much more enjoyable to work with, may I translate your article and give credit link?
Thanks & Br,
Thanh
Hi
I am glad you enjoyed the article. And yes of course you can translate it. What language though?
Thanks a lot, I will do Vietnamese translation on my personal blog, will update the link when I complete. Very few people knows about Phalcon, Laravel is king here :)
Thanks for your effort. Iran is also a country in which not many people know about Phalcon.
Long article, and I finished Vietnamese translation :)
Thanks again and I am waiting to read your next post

Laravel has got middewares but Phalcon has plugins that work like middleware and consent to integrate the controllers
Such a thorough comparison... and the humor was top notch.. I'll go with the boy Phalcon
Hahaha

I have not tried other hosting but you can use phalcon on hawkhost hosting (hawkhost.com) :)
Well done!
Good comparison, thanks.
