PHP-PM is a process manager for Request-Response Frameworks running in a ReactPHP environment. The approach of this is to kill the expensive bootstrap of PHP (declaring symbols) and bootstrap of feature-rich frameworks.

./bin/ppm start --help
Usage:
start [--bridge[="..."]] [--host[="..."]] [--slave-host[="..."]] [--slave-port-offset[="..."]] [--master-port[="..."]] [--port[="..."]] [--workers[="..."]] [--app-env[="..."]] [--bootstrap[="..."]] [working-directory]
Arguments:
working-directory The root of your appplication. (default: "./")
Options:
--bridge The bridge we use to convert a ReactPHP-Request to your target framework. (default: "HttpKernel")
--host Load-Balancer host. (default: "127.0.0.1")
--slave-host Slave processes host. (default: "127.0.0.1")
--slave-port-offset Slave processes port offset. (default: 5501)
--master-port Master process port. (default: 5500)
--port Load-Balancer port. (default: 8080)
--workers Worker count. Default is 8. Should be minimum equal to the number of CPU cores. (default: 8)
--app-env The environment that your application will use to bootstrap (if any) (default: "dev")
--bootstrap The class that will be used to bootstrap your application (default: "PHPPM\\Bootstraps\\Symfony")
--help (-h) Display this help message
--quiet (-q) Do not output any message
--verbose (-v|vv|vvv) Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
--version (-V) Display this application version
--ansi Force ANSI output
--no-ansi Disable ANSI output
--no-interaction (-n) Do not ask any interactive question$ ./bin/ppm start ~/my/path/to/symfony/ --bridge=httpKernelEach worker starts its own HTTP Server which listens on port 5501, 5502, 5503 etc. Default port range is 5501 -> 5500+<workersCount>.
Worker port offset could be changed with --slave-port-offset param.
Example config for NGiNX:
upstream backend {
server 127.0.0.1:5501;
server 127.0.0.1:5502;
server 127.0.0.1:5503;
server 127.0.0.1:5504;
server 127.0.0.1:5505;
server 127.0.0.1:5506;
}
server {
root /path/to/symfony/web/;
server_name servername.com;
location / {
try_files $uri @backend;
}
location @backend {
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
}This setup is slower as we can't load balance incoming connections as fast as NGiNX it does, but it's perfect for testing purposes.
