The difference between nginx and swoole

Nginx (engine x) is a high-performance HTTP and reverse proxy web server, and also provides IMAP/POP3/SMTP services.

Nginx was developed by Igor Sesoev for Russia's second most visited Rambler.ru site (Russian: Рамблер). The first public version 0.1.0 was released on October 4, 2004. (Recommended learning: swoole video tutorial)

It releases the source code under a BSD-like license because of its stability, rich feature set, sample configuration files and low system Known for its consumption of resources. On June 1, 2011, nginx 1.0.4 was released.

Nginx is a lightweight web server/reverse proxy server and email (IMAP/POP3) proxy server, released under the BSD-like protocol. Its characteristics are that it occupies less memory and has strong concurrency capabilities. In fact, nginx's concurrency capabilities perform better among web servers of the same type. Users of nginx websites in mainland China include: Baidu, JD.com, Sina, NetEase, Tencent, Taobao, etc.

Swoole is a PHP asynchronous network communication engine for production environments, allowing PHP developers to write high-performance asynchronous concurrent TCP, UDP, Unix Socket, HTTP, and WebSocket services.

Swoole can be widely used in the Internet, mobile communications, enterprise software, cloud computing, online games, Internet of Things (IOT), Internet of Vehicles, smart homes and other fields. Using PHP Swoole as a network communication framework can greatly improve the efficiency of enterprise IT R&D teams.

Nginx can be compiled and run on most UnixLinux OS, and there is a Windows ported version. The 1.4.0 stable version of Nginx has been released on April 24, 2013. Under normal circumstances, for new sites, it is recommended to use the latest stable version as the production version. There is not a high urgency to upgrade existing sites.

Nginx’s source code uses a 2-clause BSD-like license.

Nginx is a very powerful, high-performance Web and reverse proxy service. It has many very superior features:

In the case of high concurrency of connections, Nginx is a good alternative to the Apache service. Product: Nginx is one of the software platforms often chosen by bosses in the virtual host business in the United States.

Can support responses of up to 50,000 concurrent connections. Thanks to Nginx for choosing epoll and kqueue as the development model.

Swoole's qps is nearly three times that of nginx.

In addition, the output of the easyswoole framework based on swoole encapsulation is about 1.2 times that of nginx.

swoole’s performance is still very powerful
