RoadRunner is an open source (MIT licensed) high-performance PHP application server, load balancer and process manager. It supports running as a service with the ability to extend its functionality on a per-project basis.

RoadRunner includes PSR-7/PSR-17 compatible HTTP and HTTP/2 server and can be used to replace classic Nginx+FPM setup with much greater performance and flexibility.

Features:

• production ready
• PSR-7 HTTP server (file uploads, error handling, static files, hot reload, middlewares, event listeners)
• HTTPS and HTTP/2 support (including HTTP/2 Push)
• fully customizable server
• flexible environment configuration
• no external PHP dependencies, drop-in (based on Goridge)
• load balancer, process manager and task pipeline
• frontend agnostic (Queue, PSR-7, GRPC, etc)
• works over TCP, unix sockets and standard pipes
• automatic worker replacement and safe PHP process destruction
• worker lifecycle management (create/allocate/destroy timeouts)
• payload context and body
• control over max jobs per worker
• protocol, worker and job level error management (including PHP errors)
• memory leak failswitch
• very fast (~250k rpc calls per second on Ryzen 1700X using 16 threads)
• works on Windows

Example:

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 'stderr');
include "vendor/autoload.php";

$relay = new Spiral\Goridge\StreamRelay(STDIN, STDOUT);
$psr7 = new Spiral\RoadRunner\PSR7Client(new Spiral\RoadRunner\Worker($relay));

while ($req = $psr7->acceptRequest()) {
    try {
        $resp = new \Zend\Diactoros\Response();
        $resp->getBody()->write("hello world");

        $psr7->respond($resp);
    } catch (\Throwable $e) {
        $psr7->getWorker()->error((string)$e);
    }
}

Configuration can be located in .rr.yaml file:

http:
  address: 0.0.0.0:8080
  workers:
    command: "php psr-worker.php"
    pool:
      numWorkers: 4
