What are the real advantages of an framework? I just need to read the url for the endpoint and the params, call a function with SQL queries and send back a JSON object.
Is it not overcomplicated to use a framework for that?
I mean, if there are an Interface like Appwrite or Supabase with no or less coding, i would give a try.
But i did not found this based on PHP. Directus was, but they switched to node too.

Your question was clearly about “PHP based backend” that’s what you asked? No?
