Purpose

The aim of this repository is to provide a solid foundation for building a web service with Slim 3 (repo) using modern practices and to provide examples on how you might use some of it's functionality. To that end, some example routes and controllers are provided, as well as a basic logger and APC/APCu cache provided by Stash. Testing is provided by Codeception.
