DBM Framework • DBM Platform • Dybem

Download and Installation

Choose a lightweight foundation for building PHP applications or a ready-to-use platform with an administration panel and content management system.

DBM combines a lightweight application engine with the flexibility to extend it with additional components. Use the framework on its own or choose DBM Platform when you need a ready-made application layer. Adapt the solution and its architecture to your project requirements.

For developers

DBM Framework

A lightweight PHP framework focused on performance, modular architecture, and control over application structure. It provides a foundation for building your own systems, APIs, and web applications.

Key features

  • Routing and middleware
  • Dependency Injection container
  • Modular architecture and extensibility
  • Database access and CLI tools
  • Views, sessions, and application components

Install with Composer

Add the framework to your project using Composer.

composer require designbymalina/dbmframework

Run the command in your project directory.

Download directly

Get the source code from GitHub. Composer is not required.

DBM Framework Repository
The framework does not impose a complete application layer or a single mandatory project structure. Choose the components you need and organize your code to suit your project.

Ready-to-use platform

DBM Platform

An application layer built on DBM Framework. It includes an application structure, authentication, an administration panel, CMS features, and a module system that can be extended to meet your application's needs.

What is included?

  • Ready-made application structure
  • Administration panel and authentication
  • Content management features (CMS)
  • Module and extension system
  • Built-in project installer

Download and install

Download the project as a ZIP archive. You do not need to build the entire application layer from scratch.

Composer integration

The platform uses its own hybrid autoloader and can run independently of Composer. Run composer install in the project directory to enable Composer integration.

composer install
Once the project is set up, use the framework on its own or use DBM Platform when you need its ready-made application features. If you choose the platform, follow the available installer.

Ecosystem

One foundation. Different ways to grow.

DBM Framework provides the core application engine, while DBM Platform adds a ready-made application layer. This separation lets you start with the core components or use more built-in features when your project requires them.

Both solutions are developed as part of Dybem, an ecosystem of tools for building and evolving web applications.
