Curious about the name choice!

Is it derived from "coerce", because it can be pronounced like "core cell"? Or something else? Or just a made-up term? :)

Could imagine people being genuinely grateful for being able to plug another PHP application onto WordPress for the frontend, if this works well.

Great idea!

In Spanish at least, Corcel means Steed. A horse. Like the beautiful one from Shrek 2.

If I understood correctly, this is basically a collection of Eloquent (Laravel's ORM) models that represent Wordpress database tables.

Nifty tool for PHP projects that need to interface with Wordpress data.

With how large the Wordpress market is, this is probably desired by more teams than one could think of at a quick glance.

Not to be confused with Porcel, a group of pigs.

if this works it would completely change how we do things with wordpress.

1. does it work with any wordpress plugin? can i piggy back off laravel + frankenphp to scale what used to be nightmarish with wordpress?

2. does the underlying CMS UI still work for WP? Or is it built separately?

This is very cool! It always felt like PHP was behind in tooling - git-driven CI was challenging for WordPress (because the framework's plugins edit the project files and it is married to subversion), and serverless PHP was basically impossible until Laravel Vapor came along. Projects like this give me hope and excitement. I wish Corcel was around years ago when I had to write gross SQL string interpolation for various WordPress projects.

I think Bref predates Vapor. People were doing PHP with Lambda prior to that, too, with the custom runtimes. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/aws-lambda-custom-runtime-f...
