Laravel Stone - HTTP server using the ReactPHP

With ReactPHP we keep our application alive between requests so we only execute this bootstrap once when starting the server: the footprint is absent from Requests. However now the tables are turned: we're vulnerable to memory consumption, fatal error, statefulness and code update worries.

Installation

Installer using Composer:

$ composer require tabuna/stone

Example

The easiest way to run:

$ php vendor/bin/stone

You can also specify a port:

$ php vendor/bin/stone -p 8000

It does not interfere with your application, so do not worry

Making production ready

Supervisord

Install Supervisord

$ sudo apt-get install -y supervisor

Here's a configuration example (create a *.conf file in /etc/supervisord/conf.d):

[program:laravel-stone-server]
command=php /path/to/your/code/vendor/bin/stone -p 800%(process_num)
process_name=%(program_name)s-%(process_num)d
numprocs=4
umask=022
user=foobar
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisord/%(program_name)s-%(process_num)d.log              ; stdout log path, NONE for none; default AUTO
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisord/%(program_name)s-%(process_num)d-error.log        ; stderr log path, NONE for none; default AUTO
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startretries=3

It will:

run 4 servers on ports 8000, 8001, 8002 and 8003
it restarts them automatically when they crash (will try a maximum of 3 times, then give up)

Nginx as Load-Balancer

What we do here is to proxy only requests that don’t point to a local file.
