souin VS Spiral Framework

HTTP plugin now support RFC 7234 caching options

It's always been blisteringly fast when we've used it, and I like the power of the configuration (it has its quirks but so do most powerful systems). But the overhead of setting it up and maintaining it due to having to handle TLS termination separately puts me off using it when other software is 'good enough'. If Varnish Enterprise was cheaper I would have bought it, but at their enterprise prices no way.

I'm keeping a watching brief on https://github.com/darkweak/souin and its Caddy integration to see if that can step up and replace Varnish for short-lived dynamic caching of web applications. Though I've lost track of its current status.

Centminmod (need lots of tweaks) or OpenLiteSpeed are consider more performant than default Nginx and Caddy, but I wish if someone can prove there is a better one out there or I just saw Souin HTTP cache (https://github.com/darkweak/souin) when I was reading Echo web framework for Go. Yet to experiment if there is a benefits unless it's insignificant.

This SDK server is already available for RoadRunner 2.0+ and Spiral Framework users.

✅ Spiral (Twig, Blade, Latte, Plates, Smarty, Handlebars, Mustache, Spiral View)

To give you some hint, you mention few of our instruments - RoadRunner, Cycle ORM. Accidentally, theese instruments are also part of our main battle framework - Spiral (https://github.com/spiral/framework), which we use for all of our commercial projects for over 12 years so far.

Check https://github.com/spiral/framework - it would satisfy your perf requirements (roadrunner under the hood). We pushed it up to 250k on synthetic hello world, but in real world 20k are achievable without much hassle.

Yes, you are responsible for cleaning the memory after yourself. Most of modern frameworks can do it for you since they can control the state using DI. If you are looking for a more friendly way to manage memory take a look at https://github.com/spiral/framework It is Symfony like framework developed specifically for resident memory applications.
