About
MonkeysLegion was born out of a simple insight: modern PHP projects deserve a framework that’s lightning-fast, cloud-native, and crystal-clear to work with. After years of juggling heavyweight stacks and hidden conventions, our founder set out to build an ecosystem that strips away friction while preserving enterprise-grade rigor. The first prototype quickly proved its worth in production environments—and the project has been open-sourced ever since, inviting developers everywhere to shape its future.
