Symfony Runtime: wrapping API Platform in a lambda
summary
Symfony Runtime (Symfony 5.3) packages any PHP app as a closure that returns a closure, letting a pluggable runtime supply arguments and handle return values so apps no longer read superglobals. It uses an autogenerated autoload_runtime (composer plugin) and a resolver/runner convention to map PSR‑7/PSR‑15 or HttpFoundation apps to engines like PHP‑FPM, RoadRunner, ReactPHP, Bref/AWS Lambda or Swoole (~50% boost); Tobias already supplies many runtimes so it works today.
