PPM – process manager, supercharger and load balancer

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).
