## What it is
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
