Testing if Franken PHP Classic Mode is faster and more scalable than PHP-FPM

FrankenPHP bills itself as “The Modern PHP App Server” and provides a single-process solution to running PHP. Its worker mode allows to greatly increase the performance of cleanly developed applications that are compatible with it by saving on framework bootstrapping time. Unfortunately, not every application is compatible with worker mode. Depending on the amount of global state kept by the application, updating it for worker mode is not always easy.

Home to more than half of the world’s population, cities are both major contributors to global emissions and critical drivers of climate solutions. Delivering cleaner air, healthier communities, and resilient infrastructure requires not just commitment, but the power of data to guide and accelerate action.

Collect what matters: how Multiplayer stays lightweight without losing context

Full stack session recordings capture everything that matters without impacting your application performance or adding unnecessary overhead. Traditional continuous recording tools and APM platforms take the same brute-force approach: capture everything. Every session, every log, every metric, whether you need it or not. That flood of data creates its own problems: high storage costs, constant filtering and sampling, and hours wasted sifting for the signal inside the noise.

REST Vs GraphQL: What'S The Difference?

In the current ecosystem of web and mobile apps, APIs are the ‘glue’ that connects clients and servers. We find two key paradigms of APIs: REST vs GraphQL, which have emerged as the primary methods of communicating data between applications. Each has strengths and weaknesses, and that choice is significant, as each has dramatic implications for the performance, scalability, and flexibility of your applications.
