Laravel Octane, a tool to supercharge your Laravel application’s performance. By Paul Redmond.
Octane boasts some exceptional performance benchmarks by using high-powered application servers that integrate with Laravel. Some things to note now that Octane is considered stable and ready for production:
- Octane requires PHP v8.0+
- Octane supports Roadrunner, an application server, load-balancer, and process manager written in Golang.
- Octane supports Swoole PHP, a high-performance programmatic server for PHP with Async IO, Coroutines and Fibers
- Laravel Sail provides an easy way to get started with both Roadrunner and Swoole
With Swoole you can also leverage Concurrent Tasks, which means you can execute operations simultaneously via lightweight background tasks. Lastly, Swoole has the concept of Swoole tables, which provides “extreme performance throughput and data in these tables can be accessed by all workers on the server.” To get started with Octane, check it out on GitHub at laravel/octane. Nice one!
