## What it is
phpDaemon is an asynchronous server-side framework for building high-load network applications in PHP, built on libevent. It bundles servers (HTTP, FastCGI, SOCKS), async clients (MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, DNS, etc.), and a master-worker process model supporting thousands of simultaneous connections per worker.

## Use cases
- build high-concurrency network servers in PHP
- run an async HTTP or FastCGI server in PHP
- handle thousands of simultaneous connections per worker
- write event-driven daemons with async database clients
- build long-running background worker processes in PHP

## When to choose
- you need non-blocking I/O and high connection concurrency in PHP
- you want a daemon framework with graceful reloads and worker management built in
- you need bundled async clients for Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, and more

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - modern PHP offers ReactPHP, Swoole, or Fiber-based alternatives with more active development
- you need Windows support or a simple synchronous request-response app
- you require frequent updates or broad community support - releases are infrequent
