Phalcon is a high-performance PHP framework implemented as a C extension, designed to optimize web application speed and resource usage by leveraging low-level architecture and offering features like MVC architecture, ORM, caching, and more.

About Phalcon
Phalcon was created in 2012 to address performance issues in PHP frameworks by using a C extension to reduce overhead and improve execution speed. It aimed to provide developers with a high-performance framework that could handle demanding web applications efficiently.
Phalcon's strengths included high performance, low resource consumption, and rich features like MVC architecture and ORM. Its weaknesses involved a steeper learning curve and fewer hosting environments supporting it due to its C extension requirement. Competitors included Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter.
