Pushing the limits of PHP with React PHP
summary
Claims that React PHP turns PHP into an async, event-driven runtime using an event loop, streams and promises; demos include a pure-PHP HTTP server (PSR-7), an SSE/WebSocket chat, an HTTP client talking to Packagist and Docker, and a Redis-style server implemented in PHP. Surprising benchmarks: ~640 MB/s stream throughput to a container, ~5k–10k hello-world req/s per laptop core and ~50k Redis ops/s from the PHP server. Code samples are short, pure PHP, and runnable as-is.
