**Glue** is also an helper package made to quickly bootstrap packages-based applications. At its core it's just a container and a quick PSR7 setup, on top of which are glued together service providers and middlewares.

This is *not* a microframework (in the sense that it doesn't frame your work). If this is what you're looking for I recommend instead using [Silex](http://silex.sensiolabs.org), [Slim](http://www.slimframework.com) or whatever you want.
