amphp/http-server is a non-blocking, concurrent HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 application server library for PHP built on the Revolt event loop and Amp fibers. It supports TLS, middleware, routing, static file serving, sessions, and WebSockets via companion packages.

Use cases

• build a high-concurrency async HTTP API server in PHP
• serve real-time apps with WebSockets in PHP
• run a non-blocking HTTP/2 server with TLS
• handle many concurrent I/O-bound requests without blocking
• build a chat bot or real-time backend on an event loop
• serve static files alongside dynamic routes in PHP

When to choose

• your PHP app is I/O-bound and needs high concurrency
• you want fiber-based async code instead of promise chains
• you need WebSockets or long-lived connections in PHP
• you want an application server without nginx/php-fpm request-per-process overhead

When to avoid

• your app relies heavily on blocking PHP built-in I/O functions
• you need a simple CRUD site better served by a traditional framework
• your team is unfamiliar with async/concurrency concepts
• you need CGI-style hosting on shared PHP environments
