Lumen vs Sinatra: What are the differences?

Introduction

  1. Routing: Lumen uses a fast and simple routing engine compared to Sinatra, providing a more efficient way to handle HTTP requests.

  2. Response Time: Lumen has a faster response time than Sinatra due to its lightweight nature and optimized performance.

  3. Dependency Injection: Lumen offers built-in dependency injection support, making it easier to manage and inject dependencies compared to Sinatra.

  4. Framework Size: Lumen is a micro-framework designed for small to medium-sized applications, while Sinatra is a lightweight web application framework used for larger applications.

  5. Database Support: Lumen has built-in support for database migrations and querying, whereas in Sinatra, database management needs to be handled through third-party libraries or plugins.

  6. Documentation and Community Support: Lumen has robust documentation and an active community, offering more resources and support compared to Sinatra.

In Summary, Lumen and Sinatra differ in their routing efficiency, response time, dependency injection, framework size, database support, and documentation/community resources.
