Speed up web APIs with Expressive and Swoole
summary
Shows how a middleware async architecture combining Expressive and Swoole runs PSR-7/PSR-15 middleware in a long‑running PHP process, with conversion helpers from Swoole requests to PSR-7. Claims benchmarked up to 4x faster than nginx or Apache (benchmark) for a simple API, reuses a shared service container in memory, and warns that shared memory breaks typical PHP assumptions — avoid globals, session and raw DB connections so not suitable for WordPress/Drupal without reworking persistence.
