It’s mostly a talking point now. Workers handle concurrency fine for typical web apps, and FrankenPHP/Octane, and others along with queues cover most of the cases where it used to hurt. Real CPU-bound work is the main exception.

Michael Born @michaelborn1h

Interesting, thanks.

Don’t worry, PHP-FPM will just spawn another worker. And another. And another.

Glad to be here. My code reviews have been going here for ages anyway.

Damn, PHP has been handling concurrency for decades. It just does it the way my family handles conversations: everyone in a separate room, shouting.

Michael Born @michaelborn1h

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie. I know you can scale PHP quite a bit via good caching layers, etc. before the CPU performance becomes a serious bottleneck. Just wondering what the hive mind thinks on it these days.
