Overall Satisfaction with CodeIgniter

Our whole application is written on CodeIgniter. At first, we started with its 3rd version. After 3 years, we rewrote the whole application with CodeIgniter 4. [CodeIgniter] 4 brought a lot on the plate and decreased the gap between it and the other competitor framework such as laravel or Symfony. CodeIgniter can help developers develop applications very fast and its very structured MVC approach helps keep the code neat and clean.
  • Superfast
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to deploy
  • Auto deployment pipeline
  • Library support
  • ORM
  • Helpful documentation
  • Lightweight
  • Modern features
  • Secured application
  • Easy deployment means more bug fix
  • Helpful for newbies. Thus less training for freshers
CodeIgniter is a lot easier to implement than Laravel. Even though laravel has a lot of other features, they weren't really important for me. I cared about fast deployment and product release and CodeIgniter helped me do it perfectly.

Use CodeIgniter if you need to implement your project very fast and want to follow the MVC approach. Also, if you have space constraint, [CodeIgniter] is a very good choice because it's very lightweight. It has most of the modern solutions, from composer to ENV variable, multi server setup, everything.
