Postmodern PHP: appserver.io, a multithreaded application server for PHP, written in PHP

PreviousNext

There’s a lot of very interesting stuff going on in the PHP scene right now, I have the feeling this quite often bashed language gets more and more interesting every day. Today sitepoint.com published an interview [1] with the guys behind appserver.io, a free and open-source (and hopefully also with excellent paid hosting services) multithreaded server, ironically written in PHP itself !

Yes, full and parallel usage of all cores (and threads on hyperthreaded CPUs)!
No need to install Apache, NGINX or similar. And this seems to be really fast!

I guess this will become a very important project … More updates on that soon.

Update #1:

TechDivision has published a installation guideline for Debian Wheezy on the GitHub page [1]

Update #2:

TechDivision has published a roadmap with planned and upcoming features [1]

Update #3:

Interesting one-minute-clip, showing the awesome one-packed-file (.phar) drag and drop deployment of apps on “appserver” [3]

    Hi Chris,

    thanks for your very motivating post. We at the appserver.io team will do our best to fulfill the expectations of the community already watching us. As we mentioned at the interview we definitely plan professional services around the applications server because we believe that this is an important part of an infrastructure product like appserver.io is. So stay tuned and feel free to post or ask questions anytime.

    so long,
    Stefan
