amphp/amp is the core library of the AMPHP ecosystem, providing futures, coroutines, and cancellation primitives for non-blocking, event-driven concurrency in PHP. It builds on PHP 8.1 fibers and the Revolt event loop, letting developers write asynchronous code that reads like synchronous code.

Use cases

• run multiple HTTP requests concurrently in PHP
• make non-blocking database queries in PHP
• write async PHP without callbacks or promise chains
• build WebSocket servers or chat bots in PHP
• parallelize I/O-bound tasks in a PHP CLI script
• cancel long-running async operations in PHP

When to choose

• you have I/O-bound PHP workloads that benefit from concurrency
• you want fiber-based async code that looks synchronous
• you're building on the AMPHP or Revolt ecosystem of packages
• you need futures and structured cancellation primitives

When to avoid

• your workload is CPU-bound rather than I/O-bound
• you're stuck on PHP versions older than 8.1
• your app is simple and blocking I/O causes no performance issues
• you need true parallelism across CPU cores (consider amphp/parallel or threads)
