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
