**Ecotone is the PHP architecture layer that grows with your system — without rewrites.**

From `#[CommandHandler]` on day one, to event sourcing, sagas, outbox, and distributed messaging at scale — one package, same codebase, no forced migrations between growth stages. Declarative PHP 8 attributes on the classes you already have.

Ecotone Lite — framework-agnostic
---------------------------------

[](#ecotone-lite--framework-agnostic)

Not on Laravel or Symfony? Ecotone Lite integrates with your existing PSR-11 container to provide Command, Event, and Query buses — plus the full feature set of [Aggregates](https://ecotone.tech/domain-driven-design), [Sagas and durable workflows](https://ecotone.tech/durable-workflows), Projections, and [Event Sourcing](https://ecotone.tech/event-sourcing). Same attributes, same testing, same architecture.

- **Any PSR-11 container**
- **Full feature set available** — nothing framework-specific is held back
- **No framework lock-in**
- **Standalone or embedded** — use as your application's entry point or alongside an existing HTTP layer

See the [Ecotone Lite installation guide](https://docs.ecotone.tech/install-php-service-bus#install-ecotone-lite-no-framework) for setup details.

Visit [ecotone.tech](https://ecotone.tech) to learn more.

> Ecotone also provides dedicated integrations for [Symfony](https://docs.ecotone.tech/modules/symfony-ddd-cqrs-event-sourcing) and [Laravel](https://docs.ecotone.tech/modules/laravel-ddd-cqrs-event-sourcing).
