Slim Framework
Slim is an ideal tool to create APIs that consume, repurpose, or publish data. Slim is also a great tool for rapid prototyping. Heck, you can even build full-featured web applications with user interfaces. More importantly, Slim is super fast and has very little code. You don’t always need a kitchen-sink solution like Symfony or Laravel. These are great tools, for sure. But they are often overkill. Instead, Slim provides only a minimal set of tools that do what you need and nothing else. First, you need a web server like Nginx or Apache. A Slim app contains routes that respond to specific HTTP requests. Each route invokes a callback and returns an HTTP response. To get started, you first instantiate and configure the Slim application. Next, you define your application routes.

Perfbase
Perfbase is a PHP performance monitoring and profiling platform for finding the real cause of slow code.
Perfbase supports PHP 7.4 through PHP 8.5.
It works across the wider PHP ecosystem, including Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, custom PHP applications, Composer-based projects, APIs, queues, workers, cron jobs, and CLI scripts.
Instead of only showing high-level request timings or database query totals, Perfbase captures runtime-level PHP traces so developers can see which methods, functions, libraries, framework code, SDK calls, loops, templates, or background tasks are actually consuming time.
This is useful when a request takes 1,200ms but your database profiler only explains 50ms. Perfbase helps uncover the missing time and shows where optimisation work should happen.
Perfbase is designed for PHP developers, agencies, SaaS teams, and businesses running PHP applications in production. It helps debug slow pages, investigate regressions, profile third-party library overh
