Zero-config, batteries-included PHP framework. Your filesystem is the router. Your SQL is just SQL. You stay in PHP. Runs unchanged on PHP-FPM, Swoole, or FrankenPHP.

Status: v3.x — feature-complete, in active production use. Public API is stable; ScalVer applies.

• Zero ceremony. Drop a file in app/controllers/. That is the route.
• Let PHP be PHP. No compilation step, no route cache to warm, no container to restart. Add or remove a file and the change is live instantly. This is what makes Tiny extremely fast and lightweight — it doesn't fight the language, it gets out of the way.
• No magic ORM. Raw SQL with a thin, safe wrapper over MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and ClickHouse.
• HTMX-native request/response with auto HX-Push-Url and HTMX-aware redirects.
• React hybrid renderer — SSR on first load, JSON on subsequent requests. One controller, both modes.
• Built-in scheduler — fluent cron-style API with second-level granularity. No external binaries.
• File-based CMS — drop markdown into app/cms/, get pages, posts, tags, and a sitemap-ready API.
• 30+ integration helpers — Stripe, Mailgun, Twilio, Spaces/S3, OAuth, ClickHouse, and more.

Tiny is organized into focused branches. Pick the entry point that matches what you need:

Controller — app/controllers/users.php becomes /users:

<?php
class Users extends TinyController
{
    public function get($request, $response)
    {
        $users = tiny::model('user')->all();
        $response->render('users/index', ['users' => $users]);
    }
}

Model — app/models/user.php:

<?php
class UserModel extends TinyModel
{
    public function all(): array
    {
        return tiny::db()->get('users', null, '*', 'created_at DESC');
    }
}

View — app/views/users/index.php:

<?php Layout::default(['title' => 'Users']); ?>
<h1>Users</h1>
<ul>
<?php foreach (tiny::get('users') as $u): ?>
    <li><?= htmlspecialchars($u['name']) ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
