It runs the same Yii3 API app on a bunch of PHP runtimes and compares them. Our fork with the ePHPm runner is <a href="https://github.com/ephpm/app-api">ephpm/app-api</a>.</p> <p>Most of the results were good. ePHPm came first in classic mode and first on the database endpoint in both modes. Classic mode is the PHP-FPM style, where every request starts fresh.</p> <p>Worker mode was the surprise. In worker mode the app boots once and stays in memory, like Octane or FrankenPHP&rsquo;s worker mode. We came fourth of ten at about 50.7k requests a second. Workerman (~65k) and Swoole (~62k) were ahead.</p>
