We chose to write our platform for product security analytics (1) with PHP, primarily because it still allows us to create a platform without bringing in over 100 dependencies just to render one page.

I know this is a controversial approach, but it still works well in our case.

"require": { "php": ">=8.0",

        "ext-mbstring": "*",

        "bcosca/fatfree-core": "3.9.1",

        "phpmailer/phpmailer": "6.9.3",

        "ruler/ruler": "0.4.0",

        "matomo/device-detector": "6.4.7" }
