Flow

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

Hold

Flow is a PHP web application framework developed for the Neos project.

We used Flow in a couple of projects and decided to put it on hold for the following reasons:

slow during development and hard to debug because of its need to "compile" the application to integrate e.g. AOP
limited documentation and community
development of the framework is closely coupled to the progress of the Neos project

Although it could be that some of the above-mentioned aspects have improved in the past, we decided to use other PHP frameworks such as Symfony or other Languages (See Go; Play Framework; Spring Boot)
