Hyperf is a high-performance PHP coroutine framework designed for building microservices and middleware. It utilizes non-blocking coroutines to handle high concurrency and low-latency request processing, providing a foundation for scalable distributed systems.
The framework is distinguished by an aspect-oriented programming based dependency injector that enables pluggable components and meta-programming. It includes a coroutine-optimized object-relational mapper with integrated model caching and an orchestration toolkit for microservice governance, featuring service discovery, circuit breakers, and distributed tracing.
Hyperf provides comprehensive capabilities for API integration via HTTP, gRPC, and JSON-RPC servers, as well as real-time bidirectional communication through WebSockets. It features a distributed task scheduler for managing recurring jobs and asynchronous queues, and supports a wide array of messaging brokers including AMQP and Kafka. The system also includes tools for database schema migration, centralized configuration management, and system observability via Prometheus and Jaeger.
