Php Pm
This project is a PHP application server and process manager designed to reduce request latency by keeping applications resident in memory. It functions as a load balancer that distributes incoming network requests across a pool of worker processes, eliminating the overhead of repetitive bootstrapping.
The server routes network requests directly into application framework kernels, bypassing traditional web server layers. It includes a built-in mechanism for delivering static assets directly to clients and supports hot reloading by monitoring source files for changes and automatically restarting worker processes.
Broad capability areas include traffic management, worker pool optimization, and application deployment. The system also provides configuration options for specifying the PHP binary path across different operating systems.
Features
- Resident Process Execution - Eliminates repetitive bootstrapping overhead by keeping application state resident in memory between requests.
- In-Memory Residency - Eliminates bootstrap overhead by keeping application processes resident in memory across requests.
- Worker Pool Management - Controls a pool of persistent application processes to optimize resource utilization and distribute load.
- Worker Process Management - Controls pools of worker processes to optimize resource utilization and application throughput.
- Application Layer Load Balancing - Distributes incoming network requests across a pool of resident worker processes to optimize application throughput and resource utilization.
- PHP Application Servers - Provides a high-performance server environment that routes requests directly into application kernels.
- Performance Optimization - Reduces request latency by eliminating repetitive bootstrapping through resident-process execution.
- PHP Process Managers - Keeps PHP applications resident in memory to eliminate bootstrap overhead and reduce request latency.
- Application Kernel Integration - Routes incoming network requests directly into application framework kernels to bypass traditional web server layers.
- Request Routing - Directs network requests directly into application framework entry points, bypassing traditional web server layers.
- Hot Code Reloading - Updates application logic in the running environment by automatically restarting worker processes upon file changes.
- PHP Application Deployments - Simplifies the deployment of modern PHP web applications by managing application kernels and static assets.
- File-Change-Triggered Restarts - Automatically restarts worker processes when source files are modified to apply code updates without manual intervention.
- Load Balancers - Distributes incoming network requests across a pool of resident PHP worker processes to optimize resource use.
