PeachPie VS frankenphp

PeachPie may be worth a look. It’s a php to .net compiler.

It’s one of the most popular languages that is used to web apps at enterprise scale. You want useful? https://www.peachpie.io

Honestly it sounds like you’re in for a rough time. But here’s a real answer: https://www.peachpie.io

If you're planning to move more than 1 project toward C#, look into PeachPie, depending on the complexity of the API your project should run out of the box with no issues. This should let you rewrite the hot paths in C# while leaving rest of the system written in PHP(while still running in the .NET eco system).

We had to format the code for this article. You can find this method by following the link.

For IronPython's case there are interested parties, but it's not as large so you don't hear much about them. Same goes for the more niche stuff like peachpie where it's pretty active (dev-wise) but there's not much talk about it as there isn't as much community interest on following the project.

It's been a while since we posted articles on the C# projects check using PVS-Studio... And we still have to make the 2021 Top list of bugs (by the way, 2020 Top 10 bugs, you can find here)! Well, we need to mend our ways. I am excited to show you a review of the PeachPie check results.

Uses the new FrankenPHP server to add SSL support to your local environment

Depending on the application you can already do this. For example: https://frankenphp.dev/

File size of binaries is almost never a relevant factor. Your server running your code is probably not so constrained on disk space that it would matter. It's not like it's gigabytes, it's only ~110MB. See the assets on the latest release: https://github.com/dunglas/frankenphp/releases/tag/v1.0.0

A new player is entering the game: FrankenPHP. This is a new application server which can be used instead of Apache or nginx.

Don't follow any advice to use Apache as a reverse proxy, or bundle php with a classic web server.

There are real application servers using an event loop by now, most notably Roadrunner (https://roadrunner.dev), FrankenPHP (https://frankenphp.dev), Laravel Octane (https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/octane#introduction), Swoole Bridge for Symfony (https://github.com/insidestyles/swoole-bridge-bundle).

In general, you can do a lot with OpenSwoole or Roadrunner. They are vastly superior (in a container scenario) to any other suggestion in this thread!

And up-and-comer is https://frankenphp.dev/ which invokes PHP directly from a Go server (as a plugin for Caddy) using CGO. Not quite stable yet, but it's looking good and lots of progress has been made. Disclosure: I work on Caddy :)
