Thank you for your article Chris, interesting comparisons. I've dabbled with RoadRunner more since Octane's release but it seems Swoole is more popular for Octane currently as people want the coroutines etc which are interesting.
You can actually build some of those features into RoadRunner as it is itself an ecosystem where you can compile your own plugins into RoadRunner and taking advantage of Golang. It's something I've written about in my own articles. I believe they're building some plugin for caches/queues in future versions.
I've generally thought that RoadRunner shows a lot of potential for the future as the server matures.
@peterfox that is really interesting - it seems a lot of plugins already exist for Roadrunner: https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner-plugins
and the ability to easily make your own like you've shown is very promising. I'll edit this into the post. Thanks for sharing!
@cwhite92 yes, basically RoadRunner is all made up of plugins so most of that will already have been built in, there is some complexity within Go and the Endure container that it uses though which makes doing big rewrites can be complicated (trying to make it awesome to use with GCP) but if you just want to extend your app with the RPC server it's actually really easy to make some neat little additions.
I am pretty new to this matter. Do we have to change parts of our codebase for Octane and Swoole/RoadRunner, or is it just works out of the box?
@famasya as far as your user-land code is concerned, it's out of the box. Like I said though Swoole will require you to compile a PHP extension, so if you're looking for a low barrier to entry Roadrunner is probably your best bet.
@famasya Once you've set up an environment with Swoole or RoadRunner you only need the Laravel Octane package installed for a new project. But if you want to add it to a current project you may have to review what things you've added to the service container or that packages you've added to your project are compatible with Octane. It might not even show up in tests so if you've got a production application I would do a lot of testing with it first to be sure it works as you expect before putting it into production. Memory leaks can potentially occur with Octane.
Thank you for great article
