Porto is a software architectural pattern (not a runnable library) that provides guidelines, principles, and conventions for organizing backend code into Containers (business logic) and a Ship layer (infrastructure). It supports starting as a modular monolith and evolving into microservices, with editions for human-first (Porto SAP) and AI-agent-first (Porto AI) development.

Use cases

• structure a large backend codebase for maintainability
• start with a monolith and later split into microservices
• apply DDD and SOLID principles to a web application
• organize Laravel-style backend code into reusable components
• reduce coupling between business logic and infrastructure code
• make a codebase easier for AI coding assistants to navigate

When to choose

• you are starting a new backend project and want a proven code-organization blueprint
• your monolith is growing tangled and you want modular boundaries before microservices
• your team values single-responsibility components and clear layering conventions

When to avoid

• you need an installable framework or runtime library rather than a set of conventions
• your project is small and a simple MVC structure suffices
• your stack or team is unwilling to adopt opinionated folder structures and naming rules
