PPM - PHP Process Manager

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.

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com:php-pm/php-pm.git
$ cd php-pm
$ composer install
$ ./bin/ppm

Adapter

HttpKernel for Symfony/Laravel - https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-httpkernel

Drupal - https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-drupal

Zend - https://github.com/php-pm/php-pm-zend

Command

Example

$ ./bin/ppm start ~/my/path/to/symfony/ --bridge=httpKernel

Each worker starts its own HTTP Server which listens on port 5501, 5502, 5503 etc. Range is 5501 -> 5500+<workersCount>.

Setup 1. Use external Load-Balancer

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;
    }
}

Setup 2. Use internal Load-Balancer

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.
