Before the feature list grows any further I want to write down how decisions get made on it. This is mostly for myself. The easiest way to ruin a project like this is to let it turn into a checklist of things other projects have.</p> <p>The pitch is simple. One binary that runs a PHP app with fewer moving parts than nginx + php-fpm + Redis + MySQL. Every feature has to trace back to that. If I can&rsquo;t finish the sentence &ldquo;this exists because&hellip;&rdquo; with a real problem from running PHP in production, it doesn&rsquo;t go in.</p>
