🆚 Laravel vs. Rack

Laravel is an open-source PHP backend framework that provides all features needed to build modern web applications such as routing, input validation, caching, queues, and file storage.

It includes an expressive templating engine, a database ORM with migrations and seeding, built-in user authentication and authorization, a command-line interface, and a unified API for various cache backends.

Rack is a minimal, modular interface and invocation convention that operates between Ruby web servers and web applications to standardize how HTTP requests and responses are exchanged.

It translates raw HTTP requests into a CGI-style environment defined by RFC 3875, supports middleware stacking for step-by-step request and response processing, and is implemented by servers such as Phusion Passenger, Puma, Unicorn, and Thin.
