Why run Laravel on Swoole? Because using Swoole can speed up Laravel applications. The following article will talk to you about how to use Laravel on Swoole. I hope it will be helpful to you!

#Swoole is a production-grade asynchronous programming framework developed for PHP. It is a purely C-developed extension that allows PHP developers to write high-performance, scalable concurrent TCP, UDP, Unix socket, HTTP, and WebSocket services in PHP without having to have too much non-blocking I/O programming. and low-level Linux kernel knowledge. You can think of Swoole as NodeJS, but with higher performance for PHP. [Recommended learning: swoole tutorial]

Why run Laravel on Swoole?

The following figure shows the life cycle of PHP. As you can see, every time you run a PHP script, PHP needs to initialize modules and start the Zend engine for your runtime environment. And compile PHP scripts into OpCodes for Zend engine execution.

However, such a life cycle needs to be executed every time a request is made. Because the environment created by a single request will be destroyed immediately after the request execution is completed.

In other words, in the traditional PHP life cycle, a lot of time is wasted creating and destroying resources for script execution. Imagine a framework like Laravel, how many Why run Laravel on Swoole?s need to be loaded in each request? At the same time, a lot of I/O operations are wasted

So if we use Swoole to build a Application-level Server, and all script Why run Laravel on Swoole?s can be saved in memory after being loaded once? This is why we need to try running Laravel on Swoole. Swoole can provide powerful performance while Laravel can provide elegant code structure usage. These two are really a perfect combination!

Then, add the service provider:

If you use Laravel, add the service provider in the config/app.php service provider array:

[
    'providers' => [
        SwooleTW\Http\LaravelServiceProvider::class,
    ],
]

$ php artisan swoole:http start

Then you can see the following information:

Starting swoole http server...
Swoole http server started: <http://127.0.0.1:1215>

You can now enter the Laravel application by visiting http://127.0.0.1:1215.
