Hey @kartik

Lumen is PHP micro-framework that built on Laravel’s top components.

It is perfect option for building Laravel based micro-services and fast REST API’s. It’s one of the fastest micro-frameworks available.

You can install Lumen using composer by running below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/lumen blog

Thank You!!
