Why ReactPHP?

Like Node.js (and unlike traditional PHP applications), ReactPHP does not spawn a new process for each request, which means that a single process can handle multiple requests at the same time. IO is defered to other threads maintaining the main thread unblocked which makes it more efficient and suitable for containerized systems.

Organization

• entrypoint.php is the main script that loads Composer's autoload and bootstraps the HTTP server.
• routes.php is where one defines all possible routes.
• config.php holds all schema and config values, including the IoC one.
• acme has a couple of PHP classes and your logic can be added here too.

First usage

1. Start the server

PORT=9001 php entrypoint.php

2. And access the example route

curl -v localhost:9001/hello-world?foo=bar

3. Enjoy!
