FrankenPHP

Removing php-fpm + nginx from a container sounds AMAZING to me. If I can just have one thing in a container (plus a code base), that would be a LOT simpler than: nginx, php-fpm,…

With this you don't need FastCGI. FrankenPHP is simpler and less complex: just run it directly from your Caddy web server.

FrankenPHP will perform better than php-fpm though, in worker mode, because it doesn't need to bootstrap fully on every request. In the conference slides, Kevin showed php-fpm…

There's really not much to manage. It's not in any way a challenge, especially if you ship it as a Docker container. It's true it's probably not for everyone though; the worker…

Early Hints support was added to Caddy's proxy by Kevin Dunglas, the author of FrankenPHP. No fork required for Early Hints!

Just some experiences I've had putting large PHP frameworks into strange spaces: 1. Most PHP frameworks are designed to have all state destroyed at the end of a request. I was…

Hard to think this method takes off as people are reluctant to run their own binary that can't be updated with the rest of the system which in turn gives less users to report…

Caddy plug-ins are statically compiled into the server. Generally you need to build your own binaries if you’re using plugins. There’s an official script, xcaddy, to make that…

The approach isn't the same: Roadrunner executes php-cli and connects it to its web server through GRPC; FrankenPHP uses an ad-hoc SAPI, it is more like Apache's mod_php, the Go…

typically I find CMake would do this, or Make, to verify dependencies. Coupled with a packaging system, like debian gives you, this is all pretty straightforward. I ran into this…

When do things ever "just compile"? I assume the Docker image is because this is a pre-alpha and the docker image ensures that no one needs to go through hours of…

Not really sure what the pros of this is. Simple to deploy in a docker image? Didn't know that was an issue. I guess performance also takes a hit, and that worker mode is a good…

It'd be great to see how a Laravel app could run on FrankenPHP and see if there are speed gains. My current setup is a DigitalOcean Droplet with Nginx and php-fpm.

What is the difference between this and Roadrunner? It seems to do the same stuff. https://github.com/roadrunner-server/roadrunner

So after looking at the slidedeck on the authors blog, I'm rather confused. How does FrankenPHP keep the code in memory if each request is in a separate memory space?

Since it's not using PSR-7, does it mean that you could even run WordPress?

I've been watching how Go and Rust tooling has been finding its way into the JavaScript ecosystem. I've been out of the PHP realm for about 10 years but I did find RoadRunner for…

I might be missing the obvious but why would you add extra complexity to your infrastrucutre setup when PHP can be run natively from within caddy, apache, nginx via fastcgi.

Good. PHP-FPM needs a challenger as anyone who has tried to debug it or its pools knows. Or to tune it (so many modes, so many configuration options). Litespeed's PHP LSAPI [1]…
