What's the best framework for building a web based service/application fast for showing website metrics, e.g. GA, Piwik, campaign info, backlinks (associations, links, nofollow/dofollow), social media reputation and so on, like a dashboard. (the functionalities as such are not that interesting, it's more how the things are to be presented on the page and also basic parts such as user management etc).

It should be modular/plugin and the output of each such functionality should be displayed using widgets, ie something to place, delete or re-order on the page. The whole screen should be able to be used, well, apart from a menu either at the top or at the left side.

User management incl setting flags for what modules/widgets is accessible for each user should be, if possible, a part of the framework, If there are existing modules/plugins for dealing with payments, e.g. Paypal, then this is a good thing (less things for the developers to develop) as well as localizations etc.

The framework/technology/platform should be widely spread and be able to handle quite a lot of interactive users. "A lot" probably means everything up to 10000.

I am grateful for opinions based on experience and knowledge, please no "religions".

What framework/technology/platform and why? Pros and cons.

Thanks!

    There's a lot going on in your description, and more than likely cannot be accomplished by using a single framework.

    If you are building a service from scratch, not only do you need to consider what the user will interact with from a frontend user stand point, but also, how their interactions will be persisted throughout the system and database.

    You might need to employ multiple layers of frameworks on the frontend and the backend. You can use tools like Larvel or Code Igniter for very quick and robust frontend stuff, and pair it with MySQL for persistence. My preference is to use Javascript the whole way through and run a NodeJS server.

    Really, it depends on your usage of Framework to define a tool you use to get the job done, or an all inclusive system that takes care of everything .. the later does not exist.

    What is the basic functionality you're looking to achieve?

      The only surprising and silly here is your silly response. Then again, that seem to be your signum.

      @the rest: thanks!

    Responsive HTML5 frameworks are used to create a website in less time and less effort. HTML5 frameworks reduce your repeating css/css3 programming tasks which saves a lot of time and energy. These frameworks are very handy if you are planning to design a front-end website. Using HTML5 frameworks you can easily make your website responsive and cross browser compatible.

    It all depends on what you want, what will suit you the best and how much time you have to deal with it.
    As a PHP developer, I would recommend using Laravel, which is easy and feature rich. I am sure that after trying this framework you will never look back .

    Codeigniter and laravel.
    Codeigniter based on easiness to use and laravel based on technology.

    If you're trying to build it yourself then I would suggest to use technology you know the most.
    Performance can be achieved by scaling horizontally so it needs to be designed well in terms of data access/storage. For metrics you might not want to use the same database as for relational data, maybe think of Redis for metrics and mysql/pgsql for relational.
    I don't think you can find something that fits from the box.
    Share more specs if you want more feedback.

    "What's the best framework..." sounds like you're actually going to build this software your self. Yet, if you would know how to build this software, you wouldn't be asking this question. You would already know which frameworks you will be using.

    If you don't know how to build this, then I suggest you shouldn't look for a framework, you should be looking for a software developer who can build this for you.
