Worker-based HTTP request dispatching module for ZF2

OcraHopHop - Worker thread HTTP response dispatching for ZF2

OcraHopHop is a project aimed at reducing latency and resources used by a ZF2 Application while dispatching an HTTP Request.

Installation

The recommended way to install ocramius/ocra-hop-hop is through composer:

{
    "require": {
        "ocramius/ocra-hop-hop": "dev-master@dev"
    }
}

Working concept

The concept behind OCraHopHop is simple, and can be summarized in following pseudo code:

init_autoload();
init_config();
// ...
init_application();

while ($request = get_http_request()) {
    $application->serve($request);
}

The idea is to avoid initialization logic by re-using resources across multiple requests.

PHP was thought for share-nothing architectures, but for greater and more complex applications, such an approach is necessary.

If you already know FastCGI, this is what it is all about.

Usage

1. Replace your public/index.php with the examples/zf2-server.php that you can find in OcraHopHop.
2. Copy examples/zf2-worker.php to your public/ dir
3. Open a terminal, cd to your public/ dir and run php zf2-worker.php
4. Run siege or ab -k against your ZF application
5. ...?
6. Profit!
