FrankenPHP

[SimJoSt]

FrankenPHP (https://frankenphp.dev/) seems to come up more and more in all kinds of PHP hosting environments. I was wondering if anyone has played around with it already and as Deployer is using Caddy anyway, the jump to use it might not be that far.

I also think it would make sense to use frankenphp as caddy is already used. Only thing which may is that FrankenPHP requires newer PHP versions (8.2, 8.3, 8.4).

Instead of php-fpm?

[alexander-schranz]

@antonmedv Yes, Frankenphp is all at one PHP + Webserver (Caddy), it is offical supported PHP SAPI and modern alternative to Apache+PHPMod and Nginx+PHP-FPM, it uses caddy webserver as a base and compiles PHP directly into its binary.

It also has support for a called "worker mode" which is very similar how Roadrunner and Swoole works but that is optional and configured and enabled in the caddy file.

FrankenPHP will be now part of the PHP foundation: https://externals.io/message/127347
