async VS event-loop

I really wanna get into writing more asynchronous PHP but having to switch to a whole different web server and execution mode is a major stumbling block. The only library (that I know of) that allows asynchronous code in traditional PHP environment is this one by Spatie.

You can leverage https://github.com/amphp/parallel or https://github.com/spatie/async without changing the app much.

To handle this problem i've used "https://github.com/halaxa/json-machine" to decrease the memory usage and "https://github.com/spatie/async" to decrease the take taken for the "update process" to complete

It drove me crazy too, until I needed to use Puppeteer which requires you to write async/await (there are Puppeteer implementations in other languages, but they all seem to make compromises I didn't want). Generally speaking, async/await allows you to write code that looks and feels serial. Perhaps try using one of the async libraries for PHP to wrap your mind around the concept of async/await (like https://github.com/spatie/async)

Try using spatie's async package and run a chunk of 10 tests in each batch, if that works it might cut your waiting time by quite a lot.

ReactPHP has various components, such as the event loop, promise, and streams. When you install ReactPHP, these components and a few more are installed, so you don’t have to install the separately.

For that things PHP usually uses external help in form of queues in Redis or other DBs. And then one process which spawn other ones. Did you heard about Event Loop, pcntl_fork() and php-cli from crontab? That solves the whole problem in the world before Fibers.

It can run without an extension, but for best performance, one of libuv, libev or libevent should be installed to accelerate performance, otherwise it uses stream_select() which doesn't require an extension but has worse performance. See https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop#loop-implementations

which package? is it reactphp/event-loop?
