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. ā¢ No more bootstrap and initialization of code on every request. ā¢ Dramatically increases performance of the application. ā¢ Start multiple servers and balance with a proxy. ā¢ Best used alongside nginx or properly configured apache for static content.
- 4. Symfony ā¢ Request -> Response Framework ā¢ Symfony 4.x is extremely light weight (deprecated silex, a popular lightweight PHP framework for APIs) ā¢ Supports modern software development practices and paradigms. ā¢ Components can be found in most modern PHP frameworks: ā¢ Drupal ā¢ Laravel ā¢ Magento ā¢ Wordpress haha just kidding
- 5. Caveats ā¢ Memory Management (Symfony debug mode has a huge memory leak due to the profiling features) ā¢ Process manager could terminate and restart periodically ā¢ Git gud (at memory management) scrub ā¢ File Upload / Streaming of data can be challenging. ā¢ Havenāt tested this myself. ā¢ Managing Running Processes and Memory ā¢ There are other feature rich frameworks using ReactPHP that can manage this. ā¢ Database Interaction ā¢ Doctrine can be a real pain in long running processes if you arenāt careful
