Dotkernel API has come a long way since we published a list of its architecture and components a while ago. We implemented new features, while some components were replaced, and others were enhanced.

It all started with the announcement: Laminas MVC Is Retiring. Some people wrongfully thought everything with a Laminas logo is going away - NOT SO! Read on for a bit of history about Zend and Laminas, what it means to migrate your platform and why it's a decision that should not be taken lightly.

Dotkernel has implemented a Headless solution made up of these applications: Dotkernel API - a REST API, the root of the platform. Dotkernel Admin - (optional) complementary backend management.

With the recent release of AlmaLinux OS 10, we have created a new recipe for our WSL development environment. Compared to its predecessor, AlmaLinux 10 provides performance enhancements, security updates and improved hardware support.

The principle of a Headless Platform is to decouple the User Interface (frontend) from the backend services. The responses from the platform are then used by another system, such as a website or mobile app.

Middleware is code that exists between the request and response, and which can take the incoming request, perform actions based on it, and either complete the response or pass delegation on to the next middleware in the queue. The purpose of middleware Middleware makes it easier for software developers to implement communication and input/output, so they can focus on the specific purpose of their application.

Dotkernel Light is a PSR-15 compliant application that uses the Mezzio microframework and Laminas components. It's aimed at creating a simple website, like a presentation site, but can be expanded as needed.

This naming pattern is used in Dotkernel Admin v6 and will also be implemented in the next releases for Frontend and Light. The bigger a project is, the more time it will take to develop and the more people will be assigned to it.

The goal of this update is to implement PSR-15 handlers into Dotkernel Light. There are several advantages to using handlers, which we will explore below.

The goal of this update is to replace the static way of creating routes with a more dynamic implementation. The result is a cleaner approach that is easier to set up and review at a glance.
