Juan will introduce us to the asynchronous world of PHP with the Swoole framework.

Swoole is an event-driven asynchronous and coroutine-based framework for writing high-performance PHP code. It is implemented as a PHP extension and is written in C and C++.

Coroutines can be thought of as ultra-lightweight threads, and you can easily create thousands of coroutines in a single process.

Swoole claims: “Compared with other async programming frameworks or softwares such as Nginx, Tornado, Node.js, Swoole has the built-in PHP coroutine and async support, multiple threads I/O modules. [...] Swoole PHP network framework enhances the efficiency of R&D team, allowing them to focus on the development of innovative products.”

Juan will explain to us the fundamentals of this framework and walk you through examples and bring some light on the performance claims.
