Used CakePHP to create an online admin app for a not-for-profit to manage membership information. Grown over a number of years and there’s around 140 users who actively use it. Features authentication, user permissions and access control etc.
At the time we started it Laravel wasn’t mature so we went with CakePHP. Still on the v2.x branch - code base is now quite big so looking at the v3.x upgrade with a little trepidation.
Will get around to looking at Laravel one day - but CakePHP meets our needs today and effort to change would be quite big.
