Add performance advanced solutions

[raziel057]

As we can see more and more solution trying to run Symfony with async event driven or other modern servers (swoole, openswoole, amp, workerman, frankenphp), it would be interesting to provide tips or links to the different solutions. It could be added in a specific section of the https://symfony.com/doc/current/performance.html page.

Frankenphp and Workerman support with AdapterMan seems particularly interesting (see last benchmark here). It use the exact same code.

Maybe it would make sense to increase the popularity of these solutions, by providing advises (pro/cons).

Added Frankenphp to the bench.
TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks#7748

Now only in normal mode with plain php.
Later I'll try with Worker mode and Symfony.

Added Symfony Swoole using phpruntime

@joanhey thank you. Good to see viable solutions that improves performances of high quality PHP Frameworks.

@joanhey thanks for working on this 🙏

Just out of curiosity, how are the numbers that you see when running these benchmarks on your local machine? How much faster is the app when running via FrankenPHP? Thanks.

Hola Javier

Normally I don't bench locally because it's unrealistic, but we get some numbers in the test verification.
But this latency time is with only 1 user, it's more important the scalability.
With more req/s, the latency scale very fast.
Plain php have a very low latency, but don't scale with fastcgi.

Symfony Fortunes test

Fastcgi:

Swoole using phpruntime:

Frankenphp using phpruntime:

Workerman using Adapterman:

[joanhey]

#php @symfony added @php_swoole and #frankenphp using the phpruntime to the TechEmpower benchmark.
In some days we'll have the numbers to compare vs @workermanphp using @adaptermanphp https://t.co/J5TgoiRPn5

The initial tests are not too good for FrankenPHP.
But remember that is new, and need more work and optimizations.
These numbers will be better with time. And I'm in contact with dunglas, to help with any information.

Still not finished the run, also no results from Swoole and Workerman without a framework yet (in 2 days will finish the run).

Only platform runtimes without a framework, FrankenPHP without Worker mode:

Latency

In some hours we will have all Symfony runtimes using the same code, and will be a more fair comparison.

The symfony results are ready:

So we'll show the json and single query:

[joanhey]

This benchmark is the most fair, as all the runtimes use the same framework and code.

Folks, we're closing this as "won't fix".

The reason is the same as explained here: #18432 (comment)

We prefer to keep this article focused on the changes/tweaks you can do in your Symfony app and in some very specific PHP ini settings to improve performance.

Using servers that provide async features is important for some apps, but those projects will need to document how to integrate them with Symfony apps. Thanks for understanding!
