Spiral Framework VS RoadRunner

From the same developers :

PHP framework : https://spiral.dev/

ORM library : https://cycle-orm.dev/

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.

FrankenPHP

why link to the old URL when linking to its redirected one is less confusing?

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!

https://roadrunner.dev which golang php application server which can replace nginx +php fpm has a module for running golang via php using sockets.

You could also use something like EventMachine (In ruby), Twisted (Python), Node (JS) or ReactPHP (for PHP) that will use the language and turn it into a web application server, and then you'll have only one long running process that handle all your requests with shared memory. You could even use something more fancy like RoadRunner in the case of PHP.

Have you considered optimizing the Laravel app? I love Go, but full rewrite for such low rate sounds overkill. Have you looked at the RoadRunner PHP application sample, for example?

Has state resetter for long-running workers serving multiple requests such as RoadRunner or Swoole.
