Alright, so version 1.3 has a much shorter README: https://github.com/Qbix/webserver What do you think?

Yep, you got it. The big difference is the memory savings, not as much the saving milliseconds per request, although that might be useful too if it takes 40-50ms to bootstrap and load configs every time.

Wrong on both points. Yes, there are clearly breakthroughs since it can handle 100x more users at the same time than PHP-FPM, also it handles everything else including websockets, etc. Furthermore, it's not just me associating LLMs w

If I was unwilling to defend it, why did I sit for 30 mins on an iPhone and personally type all the substantive replies to toplevel comments in this thread?

Whether the opcache is enabled or not, the vast majority of production PHP code is I/O bound - workers wait for the network or filesystem or database. Roadrunner, FrankenPHP and Swoole try to make it evented like Node, but require you

I honestly consider it lazy pattern-matching commenting slop if people don’t look at the actual software being described, don’t run it, don’t even open the sections of the webpage that describe how it works. I understand why… people are inu

Most PHP requires additional webservers, such as nginx, and process managers like php-fpm, to even serve websites. This is an all-in one server. It even handles websockets with socket.io 5 compatibility! Yes, without it, people would additi

The grandfather comment is pants-on-fire wrong. “No need to click” while they opine on something you’ve never seen. As far as the landing page — there are truly many features that this webserver enables. That’s why the website lists 9 categ

And this one has a working webserver you can run in one command, a graphical user interface and real-time dashboard, tests to prove the claims, and example apps to make it easy to start. Not to mention that you can run your existing PHP app

I think what’s happening is: I spend months iterating and building software, that makes some major breakthroughs over existing software. I am able to do this by using LLMs in my toolchain, as well as automated testing suites, and compilers.

by EGreg 6d ago
The goal is to optimize everything other than the database. The vast majority of PHP apps are I/O bound and this webserver lets you handle 100x as many users as php-fpm. That’s the point. Your code can remain the same and keep using wh

Indeed. And funny enough, by writing it in PHP, I was able to make it spawn 100x as many workers on the same machine, and thus serve more 100x more users from one machine. On a 4GB machine it can handle 40,000 simultaneous users, and not ju

Yes, I actually iterated a lot on that README and personally directed the LLM to produce every section in there, as an artifact. Normally it would produce a much shorter README, and I should probably have split it up. That is exactly what I

I use LLMs in my toolchain, same as I also use compilers. In fact, I use the LLMs to generate end-to-end test suites, and the test running is automated as well.

Oh, it is far more useful than some “psychosis”, this is real, and battle-tested. Have you tried to download and run it yourself? It comes with its own tests and even several example apps out of the box. These examples include support for

It’s not about a benchmark. PHP-FPM executes your .php file from the beginning every time, so it does require(…) all the classes etc. and then proceeds to load the configuration from files etc. A good framework can maybe cache some of this

Glassfish was Java not PHP, and it was also using AOT (ahead-of-time) loading of bytecode, similar to what this does for PHP classes. The tests here were also done on one core. Although I am skeptical that PHP after so many years, on much f

Actually, there is a “fork” mode that outperforms php-fpm by about 100x. That is, it allows the webserver to spawn 100x more processes on the same machine (tested) on Linux and Mac. The trick is that the pcntl_fork() is done after loading

Yeah, where does this come from? Who keeps defending this, has it been challenged? About 213 million people live in this zone, so 2/3 of people in the USA. So I guess the 4th amendment doesn't actually apply to most US citizens?

Yes, C11 But in terms of security and reliability, U's linter and compiler enforces that.

No one was talking about football. We're talking about replacing most uses of Agents with uses of Workflows. That's the key first step, without which the industry will cry "don't regulate us... do you want China to WIN??
