libPhenom is a C eventing framework from Facebook for building high-performance, scalable systems, offering job scheduling, buffered streaming I/O, data structures, and JSON serialization. It was deprecated and archived in March 2019, with Facebook recommending folly as a successor.
Use cases
- build a high-performance network server in C
- schedule concurrent jobs across cores without contention
- serialize and deserialize JSON in a C application
- stream I/O with buffered sockets
- track memory usage with counters in a C program
When to choose
- you must work in C on Linux/macOS and need an event-driven job framework
- you are maintaining an existing codebase already built on libPhenom
When to avoid
- starting any new project, since it is archived and unmaintained
- you can use C++ and want an actively maintained alternative like folly
- you need Windows support
