Leaf PHP is a new, modern, lightweight PHP framework designed for rapid development of web applications and APIs. Built with simplicity and minimal configuration in mind, Leaf offers a refreshing alternative to large, monolithic frameworks while still providing powerful features like routing, middleware support, and database abstraction. Leaf can be compared Lumen and Slim, as a micro framework. You can use it to build APIs, but is also has an MVC mode. Leaf PHP is developed by the young talent Michael Darko from Ghana. Mind that this is still a new project. It has a vivid community.

Installing Leaf PHP on fortrabbit is easy: push the code and Composer resolves the dependencies during the deploy. Our platform is optimized for modern PHP frameworks, making it match Leaf's lightweight architecture. fortrabbit provides good hosting for Leaf applications. With fortrabbit's scalable infrastructure, your Leaf PHP application can handle increased traffic without performance issues.

Frequently asked

How do I deploy a Leaf PHP app or API?
Git push

Git push - Push your repository; the build runs Composer and swaps in the release atomically. Set env vars in the dashboard and add a MySQL component if the app or API needs one. The lightweight setup matches Leaf's minimal footprint.

#
Is fortrabbit a good fit for a small Leaf API?
Yes

Yes - A lean Leaf API runs comfortably on a small component, and pricing is component-based, so the bill reflects what the API actually needs. Scale up if traffic grows.

#
Can I pin an older version of Leaf?
Yes

Yes - Leaf is a young, fast-moving project; the `composer.json` pins the version with a matching PHP release, so an app can stay on a known-good version until it is ready to update.

#
Can I try Leaf hosting before paying?
Yes

Yes - Every new app starts as a free trial — seven days, no credit card.

#
Can I run Leaf console commands over SSH?
Over SSH

Over SSH - Full SSH access is included, so the Leaf CLI and other app commands run directly against the environment. Recurring tasks run as cron jobs.
