Performance and possibility analysis of Laravel tool dedicated to create modern web applications

Abstract

The aim of this paper is verification of possibilities of Laravel PHP framework. An overview of literature is presented, which shows Laravel as a research tool in various scientific fields and compares it with other PHP language tools. The project of a test application was presented, which is a database of music albums with three datasets - one, two and five thousand albums. Laravel's Zend Framework and Symfony performance survey was based on, among other things, database loading time, database searches, and the time to generate a single album view with relationships. Summary of the information contained in the paper states that Laravel is an easy-to-use tool, with a number of app creation aids, but with performance outweighed by the frameworks compared to it, the most efficient of which is Zend Framework.
