A lightweight implementation of CommonJS Promises/A for PHP, providing Deferred and Promise abstractions for representing pending asynchronous computations. It includes utilities like all(), race(), and any() for combining and managing collections of promises.

Use cases

• handle async results in PHP without callbacks nesting
• combine multiple async operations with all() or race()
• write promise-based async PHP code
• manage deferred computations in event-driven PHP applications
• avoid callback hell in ReactPHP applications

When to choose

• you're building async PHP apps, especially with ReactPHP
• you need a battle-tested, production-ready Promises/A implementation
• you want to compose concurrent operations with all/race/any combinators

When to avoid

• your codebase is fully synchronous with no async needs
• you're using PHP with native fibers/async solutions that don't interop with promises
