​
Framework architecture

Aeros follows a traditional MVC architecture with a few modern improvements:
  • Service Container - Dependency injection container for managing class dependencies
  • Service Providers - Bootstrap application services and register bindings
  • Middleware Pipeline - Process requests through a series of middleware layers
  • Event System - Decouple your application logic with observable events
