Asynchronous PHP | Florian Engelhardt

Php

Learn how to leverage Asynchronous PHP with ReactPHP and BunnyPHP to improve performance, reduce memory usage, and simplify development, exploring its applications and challenges.

Key takeaways

Asynchronous PHP is not necessarily faster, but it allows for non-blocking I/O operations and better resource utilization
ReactPHP is a pure PHP implementation of the React library, providing an asynchronous event-driven I/O model
BunnyPHP is a PHP library for interacting with RabbitMQ, allowing for easy message queueing and consumption
Use asynchronous PHP to process long-running tasks, such as sending emails or making HTTP requests, without blocking the main thread
FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) prevents forking processes, making asynchronous PHP more difficult to implement
PHP 5.3 and above support native asynchronous code using defereds and promises
ReactPHP supports PHP 5.3 and above, with a focus on Node.js-like asynchronous programming
Use asynchronous libraries like ReactPHP and BunnyPHP to simplify development and improve performance
Asynchronous code does not necessarily mean faster code, but it can reduce memory usage and improve resource utilization
Use asynchronous programming to handle I/O operations, such as reading files or making network requests, without blocking the main thread
