I've created a company "portal" for one of my clients with Fabrik. It's password protected and not accessible to the public, only their employees and their clients. The whole portal site is built with Fabrik (approx 20 tables/lists), and mainly only uses Joomla's user management and access groups. There's no articles, modules, menus (except to navigate among the Fabrik lists), don't use any other component/extension (stock or 3rd party), the template is bare bones, etc. In short, for this project, I'm using Joomla so that I can use Fabrik.
My question is, if I don't use Joomla for anything else, is there any drawback of having the whole Joomla CMS with all its files and Db tables installed? Is it causing unneeded processing, server resources, etc? I'm thinking about rebuilding the portal in Laravel or Symfony, which first I would have to learn those more in depth than what I've learned so far with them, to have a lighter package but didn't know if I'd be gaining much if I'm comfortable with the Joomla/Fabrik combo.
A standalone Fabrik/Joomla Framework only option would be great
Thanks!
