Does soft deletes works on lumen framework? Limitations of Lumen?

Solution:

Yes, SoftDeletes are supported in Lumen.

The limitations are:

• Configuration is different (not everything is out the box)
• The routing is very basic
• Missing useful artisan commands and helpers
• some additional Laravel packages won’t work
• missing sub-domain routing, no optional parameters in routes

So basically you are using a stripped down version of Laravel and you are missing flexibility.
