Forecor Kernel
Enterprise Core Architecture
Technical details on each core layer — click to expand.
The entire system boots through public/index.php. A modern bootstrapping process replaces the old include hell.
- Hybrid DI under Forecor\Core\Application with Symfony ContainerBuilder
- Reflection API controller parameter analysis and on-the-fly auto-wiring
- Database layer: Illuminate\Database Capsule (Eloquent ORM)
- Routing and events: Symfony Router & Event Dispatcher
Security is not a bolt-on patch — it is embedded directly in the request lifecycle.
- SecurityAttackPresets: activates strictest presets in RAM when anomalies are detected
- Global rate-limit and RTBH blacklist checks before the request reaches the Router
- Separate high-frequency rate limits for API endpoints
- SecurityLogger: lock-exclusive NDJSON file logs, <?php exit; ?> protection, 5000-line rotation
- SecurityHeaders: X-Frame-Options DENY, nosniff, XSS protection; automatic HSTS on HTTPS
Distinct error strategies for development and production; instant alerts on critical failures.
- APP_DEBUG=true: detailed error UI via Whoops
- Production: shutdown/error handlers, friendly error page, ErrorLogger file output
- Telegram webhook notification via WebhookService::notifyCriticalError
- Background remote tracker ping via fastcgi_finish_request (cron fallback)
Smart caching and output optimization that prevents collisions in multi-install environments.
- File or Redis cache with automatic APP_URL-based prefix isolation
- HtmlMinifier: HTML/CSS/JS minification milliseconds before response is sent
- PHP-side gzencode (FORCE_GZIP) compression when zlib is available
- Production-scale deployment with Varnish, Meilisearch and Redis
