ngx-php VS hyperf

Two questions:

1. Does Unit + PHP doing the typical “initialize & teardown” that PHP is know for?

Or is Unit persisting the initialization/setup, hence why it’s achieving the way faster results?

2. How is Unit/PHP architecturally different than NGX-PHP (an event loop)?

I guess you referring to php-nginx which seems pretty niche.

these days I would not start a new project in PHP without swoole or roadrunner: see the hyperf framework which is imo the best enterprise framework at the moment in PHP world: https://github.com/hyperf/hyperf

https://github.com/hyperf/hyperf is a lot more powerful then laravel.

I think laravel now supports swoole out of the box - they call it laravel octane. https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/octane admittedly - the number of async components they support out of the box is not comparable to hyperf - https://github.com/hyperf/hyperf

It is just my 2 cents as someone working with php daily for the last 10 years - but I would use https://github.com/hyperf/hyperf for large projects. i mean you wont get away with just php - frontend is a whole another maze. webpack alone is a cryptic frigging mess.

I would say https://github.com/hyperf/hyperf. as its made with high availability and high concurrency in mind, structured as mostly independent components and have many entreprise features most php frameworks dont, - such as: - connection pooling - ability to spin off side processes - built in crontab - co-routines - task workers - message queues
