Benjamin on FrankenPHP performance
Benjamin will give a talk titled:
Is FrankenPHP the Fastest Way to Run PHP?
This session takes a closer look at FrankenPHP and compares it with established setups such as PHP-FPM, Apache, and Swoole. Benjamin will walk through both classic and worker mode, compare and contrast their behavior, and share insights from benchmarks as well as real production use cases.
