ReactPHP + Symfony
- 1. REACTPHP & SYMFONY David Bergunder Lead Web Developer April, 2017
- 2. HTTP SERVER ReactPHP as an Event-Driven, Non-Blocking I/O http server.
- 3. ReactPHP Your application runs inside ReactPHPs event loop. Request -> Response pattern (Symfony!) Acts as the http server. • No more bootstrap and initialization of code on every request. • Dramatically increases performance of the application. • Start multiple servers and balance with a proxy. • Best used alongside nginx or properly configured apache for static content.
- 4. Symfony • Request -> Response Framework • Symfony 4.x is extremely light weight (deprecated silex, a popular lightweight PHP framework for APIs) • Supports modern software development practices and paradigms. • Components can be found in most modern PHP frameworks: • Drupal • Laravel • Magento • Wordpress haha just kidding
- 5. Caveats • Memory Management (Symfony debug mode has a huge memory leak due to the profiling features) • Process manager could terminate and restart periodically • Git gud (at memory management) scrub • File Upload / Streaming of data can be challenging. • Haven’t tested this myself. • Managing Running Processes and Memory • There are other feature rich frameworks using ReactPHP that can manage this. • Database Interaction • Doctrine can be a real pain in long running processes if you aren’t careful
