Nimbus Framework

Nimbus leverages the cloud to store modern PHP web applications free of charge.

It offers PHP evaluation through a free Heroku instance at https://nimbusframework.herokuapp.com/ and data persistence facilitated by the goo.gl URL shortener.

Features:

• Free cloud hosting
• Fully decoupled controllers
• Content versioning (URLs are forever)
• SSL encryption
• Follows TDD best practices
• JIT-compiled controllers
• Lowers cholesterol

How to use

Write your controller code in controllers/*.php. default.php is the site entry point.

Run php src/deploy.php to deploy your site to the cloud and receive your unique URL.

Known issues:

• Circular links are impossible to create within a single app, you can only use uni-directional links due to limitations in the cloud store.
• Every deployment gets a new unique URL due to the versioning feature.
