PPM is a process manager, supercharger and load balancer for modern PHP applications.
PPM is based on ReactPHP and works best with applications that use request-response frameworks like Symfony’s HTTPKernel. The approach of this is to kill the expensive bootstrap of PHP (declaring symbols, loading/parsing files) and the bootstrap of feature-rich frameworks.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Performance boost up to 15x (compared to PHP-FPM, Symfony applications).
- Integrated load balancer.
- Hot-Code reload (when PHP files change).
- Static file serving for easy development procedures.
- Support for HttpKernel (Symfony/Laravel), Drupal (experimental), Zend (experimental).
