About:
RoadRunner is a high-performance PHP application server written in Go, designed to replace traditional PHP-FPM setups. It enables long-running PHP processes, significantly improving throughput and reducing latency for PHP applications. Its primary value lies in providing a production-ready, persistent application server with built-in process management and load balancing.
Key Features:
  • High-performance PHP application server
  • Built-in HTTP/HTTPS load balancer
  • Process manager with health checks and graceful reloads
  • Support for multiple protocols (HTTP, gRPC, WebSockets, TCP)
  • Metrics and monitoring integration
Use Cases:
  • Running high-traffic PHP web applications with improved performance
  • Microservices architecture requiring persistent PHP workers
  • Replacing PHP-FPM for reduced overhead and better resource management
Alternatives:
  • php-fpm – Traditional PHP FastCGI Process Manager; RoadRunner offers persistent workers and higher performance.
  • Swoole – PHP extension for async programming; RoadRunner is a separate Go server managing PHP processes.
