Cycle ORM Reviews and Details

Features & Specs

1. Data Mapper architecture

   Cycle ORM uses the Data Mapper pattern, which keeps entities as plain PHP objects without inheriting from a base model class. This separates domain logic from persistence logic, producing cleaner, more testable code.

2. Long-running application support

   It is designed to work well with long-running PHP environments such as RoadRunner and Swoole, as well as workers and queues. It avoids the memory leaks and state issues common in ORMs built for the traditional request-per-process model.

3. Flexible schema definition and migrations

   Entities can be configured via PHP attributes, annotations, or runtime schema definitions. It also provides a schema generator and migration tooling that can automatically sync database structure with entity definitions.

4. Powerful relations and query features

   It supports a wide range of relations (HasOne, HasMany, BelongsTo, ManyToMany, embedded entities, polymorphic and inherited relations) with eager and lazy loading. It also has a capable query builder and supports features like single table inheritance and typecasting.

5. Framework agnostic with Spiral integration

   Cycle ORM is not tied to any specific framework and can be used in any PHP project. It has first-class integration with the Spiral Framework and bridges for others such as Laravel, which provides flexibility in architecture choices.
