From Runtime to Resilience: Scaling PHP
summary
A runnable GitHub repo ships Laravel and Symfony branches with ready-made dashboards, make commands, k6 load scripts and benchmarks that prove concrete wins: IG binary halves read time for complex cached objects, APCU and composer flags cut boot cost by ~10–15%, and FrankenPHP shows ~40% throughput gains versus FPM. Instrumentation uses FPM exporter → Prometheus → Grafana plus an opcache exporter that surfaces hits and memory; tune opcache max_accelerated_files must be a prime or cache thrashes and performance collapses.
