Haste

The mako/haste package allows you to boost your application performance by running it on an application server like FrankenPHP.

The performance gains will vary based on the application but a basic "Hello, world!" application will run about 4-5 times faster than on a php+apache setup.

Note that this package is experimental and make sure not to leak data between requests by using static variables!

Requirements

Mako 11.0 or greater.

Installation

First you'll need to install the package as a dependency to your project.

composer require mako/haste

Next you'll have to replace the index.php contents with the following.

<?php

use mako\haste\FrankenPHP;
use mako\application\web\Application;

/**
 * Include the application init file.
 */
include dirname(__DIR__) . '/app/init.php';

/*
 * Start and run the application.
 */
FrankenPHP::run(new Application(MAKO_APPLICATION_PATH));

Finally, you should disable auto-registration of the error handler by setting error_handler.register to false in app/config/application.php.

That's it! Enjoy your (hopefully) improved performance 🎉

Docker setup

The following basic dockerfile will help to get you started:

FROM dunglas/frankenphp:1.4.4-php8.4

ARG USER=haste

RUN install-php-extensions \
	opcache \
	pdo_mysql

RUN mv "$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini-production" "$PHP_INI_DIR/php.ini"

COPY . /app

RUN mv ./php-overrides.ini /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/.

RUN useradd ${USER}
RUN setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip /usr/local/bin/frankenphp
RUN chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /data/caddy && chown -R ${USER}:${USER} /config/caddy
RUN chown -R ${USER}:${USER} ./app/storage

USER ${USER}

ENV SERVER_NAME=:80
ENV FRANKENPHP_CONFIG="worker ./public/index.php"
#ENV CADDY_GLOBAL_OPTIONS="debug"

Note that the example setup includes a php-overrides.ini file with custom OPcache settings for optimal performance. These settings should work well in most cases, but feel free to customize them as needed.

expose_php = Off
zend.exception_ignore_args=0
memory_limit=512M
register_argc_argv = Off

opcache.enable=1
opcache.memory_consumption=256
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=16
opcache.max_accelerated_files=20000
opcache.validate_timestamps=0
