Hyperf is a high-performance PHP coroutine framework built on Swoole and Swow, designed for building microservices, middleware, web systems, and APIs. It features an AOP-enabled dependency injector and ships with coroutine-compatible components for RPC, messaging, caching, tracing, and more, all following PSR standards.

Use cases

• build high-performance PHP microservices
• create coroutine-based WebSocket servers
• implement JSON-RPC or gRPC services in PHP
• build APIs that outperform PHP-FPM frameworks
• add RabbitMQ or Kafka-style messaging to PHP apps
• build middleware and distributed systems in PHP

When to choose

• you need extreme throughput in PHP beyond PHP-FPM limits
• you're building microservices or middleware in PHP
• you want coroutine-compatible clients for MySQL, Redis, AMQP, gRPC out of the box
• you value PSR-standard, pluggable components with AOP and DI

When to avoid

• you need simple shared-hosting or PHP-FPM deployment
• your team is unfamiliar with coroutine programming models
• you need a framework with a larger ecosystem of third-party packages like Laravel or Symfony
• you target Windows-native environments, since Swoole/Swow are Unix-oriented
