Apiato is a PHP framework built on top of Laravel for creating scalable, testable, API-centric applications using the Porto architectural pattern. It ships with batteries-included features such as OAuth2 authentication, RBAC, API versioning, code and documentation generators, and test helpers.

Use cases

• build a scalable REST API with PHP and Laravel
• bootstrap an API-centric Laravel project with authentication and versioning
• structure a large Laravel codebase with clean modular architecture
• generate API documentation automatically
• add OAuth2 and role-based access control to an API
• grow a monolith into microservices over time

When to choose

• you want a batteries-included Laravel-based API starter with proven patterns
• you need built-in auth, versioning, RBAC, and docs generation out of the box
• you value a strict modular architecture (Porto) for team-scale API development

When to avoid

• you are building a simple website or server-rendered app rather than an API
• your team prefers plain Laravel conventions without an opinionated architectural pattern
• you need a framework outside the PHP/Laravel ecosystem
