Webman is a high-performance PHP web framework built on Workerman that integrates HTTP, WebSocket, TCP, and UDP services. It uses resident memory, coroutines, and connection pools to achieve very high throughput compared to traditional PHP frameworks.

Use cases

• build a high-performance REST API in PHP
• serve websocket connections from PHP
• replace Laravel/Symfony for latency-sensitive endpoints
• build a long-running PHP service with resident memory
• create a TCP or UDP server in PHP
• build an admin panel backend with database and Redis support

When to choose

• you need maximum request throughput from PHP
• you need websocket or raw TCP/UDP alongside HTTP
• you are comfortable with resident-memory PHP programming models
• you want a batteries-included framework with ORM, cache, queue, and plugin ecosystem

When to avoid

• you rely on shared-hosting or Apache/mod_php deployment
• your team depends on the vast Laravel/Symfony ecosystem
• you prefer classic request-per-process PHP lifecycle semantics
