Introduction

A modular framework with immutable version channels and predictable upgrades.

Atlas Framework is a fictional full-stack toolkit for building modular web products. These docs follow a versioned publishing model: drafts evolve freely, while each public release is an immutable snapshot labeled with a major channel such as 3.x.
What's new
Documentation release 2.0.0 adds Guides for testing, jobs, middleware, and performance, plus Events & listeners and a CLI cookbook.

How to read these docs

  • Getting Started — install and orient yourself in a new project.
  • Core Concepts — lasting mental models that apply across minor releases.
  • Guides — task-focused recipes for testing, jobs, middleware, and performance.
  • Version 3 — upgrade paths, checklists, and release notes for the current major.
  • Reference — conventions, CLI cookbook, and troubleshooting.
Tip
Prefer the docs channel that matches your installed major. Mixing 2.x examples with a 3.x project is the most common source of confusion.

Atlas is sample documentation for Knowybase themes. Names, packages, and URLs are fictional.
