Onlainez-fwk

Onlainez-fwk is the PHP framework we have been building at Onlainez over the last decade. It started as a small toolkit on top of osCommerce, evolved through Joomla, Magento, and Symfony, and converged into its current form: a custom kernel that today runs every Onlainez vertical in production without depending on a heavyweight third-party stack.

The Platform: From the Schema to the Server

Onlainez-fwk is the foundation Klinio, Tisko, Cadence, and the rest of our verticals are built on. Every layer was crafted in-house — cookie session and Bearer token authentication for native apps, role-based access control with per-user grants, multi-tenancy, internationalization through satellite translation tables, a section-based CMS, queued mail, push notifications, real-time websockets via Ratchet, geolocation, and a full activity audit log.

There is no bloated framework underneath. The stack is PHP 8.1+, MariaDB, and a tight curated set of libraries — every dependency added on purpose, every line traceable. We control the platform from the Nginx config and the schema migrations up to the section renderer and the brand resolver, which means we can ship a fresh deployment to a shared hosting or to a private server with the same one-shot installer.

What We Did: Engineering Discipline as a First-Class Concern

We treat Onlainez-fwk as a long-running engineering project, not a by-product of building client features. Every architectural decision is captured in an ADR and kept as the canonical source of truth, security follows OWASP ASVS L2 and NIST SSDF as reference baselines, and the test suite hits a real MariaDB rather than a SQLite stand-in so dialect-specific bugs cannot hide.

The framework ships batteries-included on purpose: notification push and real-time websockets are part of the core kernel, not optional add-ons, because every vertical eventually needs them. Verticals that do not use a layer simply hide it through platform-owner configuration. The result is one codebase that scales from a German press site that wants only static pages to a healthcare clinic that needs full multi-tenant scheduling and prescriptions.

The Result: Stable Ground for Real Clients

Onlainez-fwk is what allows a small team to deliver and maintain multiple production SaaS verticals at once — Klinio serving clinics in Nicaragua, Tisko running restaurants in Spain, Presse21 serving a press agency in Germany. The framework absorbs the cross-cutting work so each vertical can focus on its domain instead of reinventing auth, multilingual content, or deployment for the tenth time.

Built by hand, by the same team that uses it every day, and shaped by the real demands of clients in production rather than by hypothetical roadmaps.
